In this paper, first some results of [5] are extended for subadditive separating maps between C(X;E) and C(Y;E), such that E is a unital Banach algebra. Then we give some conditions under which a strongly subadditive map has a unique fixed…

(a) Let X=(f,g) be a differentiable map in the plane (not necessarily C^1) and let Spec(X) be the set of (complex) eigenvalues of the derivative DX(p) when p varies in R^2. If, for some \epsilon>0, the set Spec(X) is disjoint of…

It is demonstrated that a C^1-unipotent map is globally equivalent to the linear translation T(x,y)=(x+1,y), if the map is fixed point free Similarly, it is proved not only that the fixed point set induced by a C^1-unipotent has no isolated…

If $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, with $a<b$, is continuous and such that $a$ and $b$ are mapped in opposite directions by $f$, then $f$ has a fixed point in $I$. Suppose that $f:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C}$ is map and $X$ is a continuum. We extend…

The main result given in Theorem~1.1 is a condition for a map $X$, defined on the complement of a disk $D$ in R^2 with values in R^2, to be extended to a topological embedding of R^2, not necessarily surjective. The map $X$ is supposed to…

We prove that if $F$ is a finitely generated abelian group of orientation preserving $C^1$ diffeomorphisms of $R^2$ which leaves invariant a compact set then there is a common fixed point for all elements of $F.$ We also show that if $F$ is…

A map $f: \ff^n \to \ff^n$ over a field $\ff$ is called affine if it is of the form $f(x)=Ax+b$, where the matrix $A \in \ff^{n\times n}$ is called the linear part of affine map and $b \in \ff^n$. The affine maps over $\ff=\rr$ or $\cc$ are…

We characterize the sequences of fixed point indices $\{i(f^n, p)\}_{n\ge 1}$ of fixed points that are isolated as an invariant set and continuous maps in the plane. In particular, we prove that the sequence is periodic and $i(f^n, p) \le…

Let $p$ be an odd prime and $\F_q$ be the finite field with $q=p^n$ elements. A planar function $f:\F_q\rightarrow\F_q$ is called homogenous if $f(\lambda x)=\lambda^df(x)$ for all $\lambda\in\F_p$ and $x\in\F_q$, where $d$ is some fixed…

We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…

Given a finite group $G$, the generating graph $\Gamma(G)$ of $G$ has as vertices the non-identity elements of $G$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are distinct and generate $G$ as group elements. Let $G$ be a 2-generated…

A map $\phi:M_m(\bC)\to M_n(\bC)$ is decomposable if it is of the form $\phi=\phi_1+\phi_2$ where $\phi_1$ is a CP map while $\phi_2$ is a co-CP map. It is known that if $m=n=2$ then every positive map is decomposable. Given an extremal…

Two graphs are co-spectral if their respective adjacency matrices have the same multi-set of eigenvalues. A graph is said to be determined by its spectrum if all graphs that are co-spectral with it are isomorphic to it. We consider these…

Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…

For a disk $D$ in the plane $\mathbb R^2$ and a plane map $f$, we give several conditions on the restriction of $f$ to the boundary $\partial D$ of $D$ which imply the existence of a fixed point of $f$ in some specified domain in $D$. These…

Caputo fractional (with power-law kernels) and fractional (delta) difference maps belong to a more widely defined class of generalized fractional maps, which are discrete convolutions with some power-law-like functions. The conditions of…

Let $f:S^2\to S^2$ be a continuous map such that $deg f = d, |d|>1$. Suppose $f$ has two attracting fixed points denoted $N$ and $S$ and let $A=S^2\setminus \{N,S\}$. Assume that if a loop $\gamma\subset f^{-1}(A)$ is homotopically trivial…

A well-known result from Brouwer states that any orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane with no fixed points has an empty non-wandering set. In particular, an invariant compact set implies the existence of a fixed point. In this…

A locally compact stable plane of positive topological dimension will be called semiaffine if for every line $L$ and every point $p$ not in $L$ there is at most one line passing through $p$ and disjoint from $L$. We show that then the plane…

Poincar\'e gave a criterion which determines the shape of equilibrium for planar differential equations. In his statement, he excluded the case of repeated eigenvalues. In fact, in such a case, we can give a $C^1$ counter-example to his…
