Banach and Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorems -- are they related?

Hello,

I just found the question, so the answer might come a bit too lat, but.. Have a look at:

Paweł Waszkiewicz, "Common patterns for metric and ordered fixed point theorems.", In Proceedings of the 7th Workshop on Fixed Points in Computer Science (Luigi Santocanale ed.), 2010, pp. 83-87.

I attended this talk last summer, and it addresses exactly your question.


As suggested by Jacques, I turn my comment into an answer.

This is not exactly what you ask for, but it is related. Efe Ok in Section 3.4 in Chapter 6 of his yet-to-be-written book on ordered sets gives a proof of the Banach fixed point theorem using the Kantorovitch-Tarski fixed point theorem: files.nyu.edu/eo1/public/Book-PDF/CHAPTER%205.pdf https://sites.google.com/a/nyu.edu/efeok/books/CHAPTER%205.pdf
