A logical analysis of fixpoint theorems

Category Theory 2022-11-04 v1

Abstract

We prove a fixpoint theorem for contractions on Cauchy-complete quantale-enriched categories. It holds for any quantale whose underlying lattice is continuous, and applies to contractions whose control function is sequentially lower-semicontinuous. Sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of the fixpoint are established. Examples include known and new fixpoint theorems for metric spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, and probabilistic metric spaces.
