This paper establishes a formal framework, grounded in mathematical logic and order theory, to analyze the inherent limitations of radical transparency. We demonstrate that self-referential disclosure policies inevitably encounter…
We extend to binary relational systems the notion of compact and normal structure, introduced by J.P.Penot for metric spaces, and we prove that for the involutive and reflexive ones, every commuting family of relational homomorphisms has a…
The so-called Fundamental Theorem of Dynamical Systems -- which(1) relates attractors and repellers to the chain recurrent set and (2) gives the existence of a complete Lyapunov function -- can be seen as a means of separating out…
We present a constructive proof of Tychonoff's fixed point theorem in a locally convex space for sequentially locally non-constant functions, As a corollary to this theorem we also present Schauder's fixed point theorem in a Banach space…
In 1892, Lyapunov provided a fundamental contribution to stability theory by introducing so-called Lyapunov functions and Lyapunov equilibria. He subsequently showed that, for linear systems, the two concepts are equivalent. These concepts…
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…
It has been widely believed for half a century that there will never exist a nonlinear theory of generalized functions, in any mathematical context. The aim of this text is to show the converse is the case and invite the reader to…
An aperiodic tile set was first constructed by R. Berger while proving the undecidability of the domino problem. It turned out that aperiodic tile sets appear in many topics ranging from logic (the Entscheidungsproblem) to physics…
We established a fixed-point theorem for mapping satisfying a general contractive inequality of integral type depended an another function. This theorem substantially extend the theorem due to Branciari (2003) and Rhoades (2003)
This article re-examines Lawvere's abstract, category-theoretic proof of the fixed-point theorem whose contrapositive is a `universal' diagonal argument. The main result is that the necessary axioms for both the fixed-point theorem and the…
When formalized, some diagonal arguments do not show the diagonal object to be impossible but rather reveal some other anomaly (e.g., that one of the relevant sets is ill-defined). This raises the possibility that some diagonal arguments…
We present proofs of basic results, including those developed by Harold Bell, for the plane fixed point problem: does every map of a non-separating plane continuum have a fixed point? Some of these results had been announced much earlier by…
The classical global linearization theorem for autonomous system given in [C. Pugh, Amer. J. Math., 91 (1969) 363-367] requires that nonlinear system with hyperbolicity satisfies boundedness and Lipschitz continuity.In this paper, we…
We propose a new simple construction of an aperiodic tile set based on self-referential (fixed point) argument. People often say about some discovery that it appeared "ahead of time", meaning that it could be fully understood only in the…
Using the general notions of finitely presentable and finitely generated object introduced by Gabriel and Ulmer in 1971, we prove that, in any (locally small) category, two sequences of finitely presentable objects and morphisms (or two…
A general fixed point theorem for isometries in terms of metric functionals is proved under the assumption of the existence of a conical bicombing. It is new even for isometries of Banach spaces as well as for non-locally compact…
The Initial Algebra Theorem by Trnkov\'a et al.~states, under mild assumptions, that an endofunctor has an initial algebra provided it has a pre-fixed point. The proof crucially depends on transfinitely iterating the functor and in fact…
\"{O}zavsar and Cevikel(Fixed point of multiplicative contraction mappings on multiplicative metric space.arXiv:1205.5131v1 [math.GN] 23 may 2012)initiated the concept of the multiplicative metric space in such a way that the usual…
We present the theorem which determines, by a permutation, the cardinal ordering of fixed points for any orbit of a period doubling cascade. The inverse permutation generates the orbit and the symbolic sequence of the orbit is obtained as a…
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…
