Let f: X → X be a continuous mapping of the compact metrizable space X into itself with a singleton. In [3] Janos proved that for any λ, 0 < λ < 1, a metric ρ compatible with the topology of X exists such that ρ(f(x), f(y)) ≦ λρ(x, y) for all x, y ∈X. More recently, Janos [4] has shown that if, in addition, f is one-to-one, then a Hilbert space H and a homeomorphism μ: X → H exist such that μfμ-1 is the restriction to μ[X] of the transformation sending y ∈ H into λy. Our aim in this note is to show that in both cases a homeomorphism h of X into l2 exists such that hfh-1 is the restriction of a linear transformation.
