In this work, using a new geometrical approach we study to the existence of the fixed-point of mappings that independence of the smoothness, and also of their single-values or multi-values. This work proved the theorems that generalize in…
We give an axiomatic characterization of the fixed point index of an $n$-valued map. For $n$-valued maps on a polyhedron, the fixed point index is shown to be unique with respect to axioms of homotopy invariance, additivity, and a splitting…
We prove three theorems giving fixed points for orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the plane following forgotten results of Brouwer.
To formulate our results let $f$ be a continuous map from $\mathbb R^n$ to $2^{\mathbb R^n}$ and $k$ a natural number such that $|f(x)|\leq k$ for all $x$. We prove that $f$ is fixed-point free if and only if its continuous extension…
We prove a fixed point theorem for a family of Banach spaces, notably L^1 and its non-commutative analogues. Several applications are given, e.g. the optimal solution to the "derivation problem" studied since the 1960s.
Conjugation, or Legendre transformation, is a basic tool in convex analysis, rational mechanics, economics and optimization. It maps a function on a linear topological space into another one, defined in the dual of the linear space by…
Macbeath gave a formula for the number of fixed points for each non-identity element of a cyclic group of automorphisms of a compact Riemann surface in terms of the universal covering transformation group of the cyclic group. We observe…
The aim of this paper is to discuss Penot's problem on a generalization of Caristi's fixed point theorem. We settle this problem in the negative and we present some new theorems on the existence of fixed points of set-valued mappings in…
We introduce a new type of mappings in metric spaces which are three-point analogue of the well-known Kannan type mappings and call them generalized Kannan type mappings. It is shown that in general case such mappings are discontinuous but…
We generalise the Atiyah-Segal-Singer fixed point theorem to noncompact manifolds. Using $KK$-theory, we extend the equivariant index to the noncompact setting, and obtain a fixed point formula for it. The fixed point formula is the…
Sets on the boundary of a complementary component of a continuum in the plane have been of interest since the early 1920's. Curry and Mayer defined the buried points of a plane continuum to be the points in the continuum which were not on…
We establish a simple and powerful lemma that provides a criterion for sequences in metric spaces to be Cauchy. Using the lemma, it is then easily verified that the Picard iterates $\{T^nx\}$, where $T$ is a contraction or asymptotic…
The purpose of this paper is to present some multidimensional fixed-point theorems and their applications. For this, we provide a multidimensional fixed point theorem and then using this theorem we prove the existence and uniqueness of a…
The fixed-point theory and its applications to various areas of science are well known. In this paper we present some existence and uniqueness theorems for fixed circles of self-mappings on metric spaces with geometric interpretation. We…
Given a closed, oriented surface, possibly with boundary, and a mapping class, we obtain sharp lower bounds on the number of fixed points of a surface symplectomorphism (i.e. area-preserving map) in the given mapping class, both with and…
Let G be a group acting on the plane by orientation-preserving homeomorphisms. We show that if for some k>0 there is a ball of radius r > k/\sqrt{3} such that each point x in the ball satisfies |gx -hx| < k for all g, h in G, and the action…
We use fixed point theory to analyze nonnegative neural networks, which we define as neural networks that map nonnegative vectors to nonnegative vectors. We first show that nonnegative neural networks with nonnegative weights and biases can…
We prove a generalization of the Poincar\'e-Birkhoff theorem for the open annulus showing that if a homeomorphism satisfies a certain twist condition and the nonwandering set is connected, then there is a fixed point. Our main focus is the…
We give two characterizations of $\mathcal P$-like continua $X$ that do not have the fixed point property. Both characterizations are stated in terms of sequences of open covers of $X$ that follow fixed-point-free patterns. We use these to…
The main purpose of this paper is to find the fixed point in such cases where existing literature remain silent. In this paper we introduce partial completeness, a new type of contraction and many other definitions. Using this approach the…
