Abstract
One of the conclusions of Browder (1960) is a parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, stating that for every continuous function , where is a simplex in a Euclidean space, the set of fixed points of , namely, the set , has a connected component whose projection on the first coordinate is . Browder's (1960) proof relies on the theory of the fixed point index. We provide an alternative proof to Browder's result using Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem.
