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…

It is investigated in what sense the Brouwer fixed point theorem may be viewed as a corollary of the Lawvere fixed point theorem. A suitable generalisation of the Lawvere fixed point theorem is found and a means is identified by which the…

Le Roux and Ziegler asked whether every simply connected compact nonempty planar co-c.e. closed set always contains a computable point. In this paper, we solve the problem of le Roux and Ziegler by showing that there exists a contractible…

We present a fixed point theorem for a class of (potentially) non-monotonic functions over specially structured complete lattices. The theorem has as a special case the Knaster-Tarski fixed point theorem when restricted to the case of…

In the general context of computable metric spaces and computable measures we prove a kind of constructive Borel-Cantelli lemma: given a sequence (constructive in some way) of sets $A_{i}$ with effectively summable measures, there are…

We study weak and strong solutions of nonlinear non-compact operator equations in abstract spaces of adapted random points. The main result of the paper is similar to Schauder's fixed-point theorem for compact operators. The illustrative…

We present a constructive proof of Brouwer's fixed point theorem with sequentially at most one fixed point, and apply it to the mini-max theorem of zero-sum games.

We present a solution of Exercise 1.2.1 of [2] which yields a short new proof of a key step in one of proofs of Brouwer's fixed point theorem, 1910. A few people asked the author about the details of the solution and they might be…

The aim of this paper is to determine the logical and computational strength of instances of the Bolzano-Weierstra{\ss} principle (BW) and a weak variant of it. We show that BW is instance-wise equivalent to the weak K\"onig's lemma for…

In this article, we will show that uncomputability is a relative property not only of oracle Turing machines, but also of subrecursive classes. We will define the concept of a Turing submachine, and a recursive relative version for the Busy…

We say that a metric space $(X,d)$ possesses the \emph{Banach Fixed Point Property (BFPP)} if every contraction $f:X\to X$ has a fixed point. The Banach Fixed Point Theorem says that every complete metric space has the BFPP. However, E.…

The empty set of course contains no computable point. On the other hand, surprising results due to Zaslavskii, Tseitin, Kreisel, and Lacombe assert the existence of NON-empty co-r.e. closed sets devoid of computable points: sets which are…

We establish a fixed point theorem for mappings of square matrices of all sizes which respect the matrix sizes and direct sums of matrices. The conclusions are stronger if such a mapping also respects matrix similarities, i.e., is a…

More than a century ago, L. E. J. Brouwer proved a famous theorem, which says that any orientation preserving homeomorphism of the plane having a periodic point must have a fixed point. In recent years, there are still some authors giving…

One of the conclusions of Browder (1960) is a parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, stating that for every continuous function $f : ([0,1] \times X) \to X$, where $X$ is a simplex in a Euclidean space, the set of fixed points…

Turing's famous 'machine' framework provides an intuitively clear conception of 'computing with real numbers'. A recursive counterexample to a theorem shows that the theorem does not hold when restricted to computable objects. These…

Inspired by the classical Bohman-Korovkin-Wulbert (BKW) operators, we initiate a study of noncommutative BKW-operators. Let $A$ be a unital $C^*$-algebra, and $S$ be a set of generators of $A$. A unital completely positive (UCP)-map $\phi:…
