As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…
This paper combines the decomposition technique ($\sigma$-stability) in random functional analysis with the deterministic theory of asymptotically pointwise contractions to provide a complete self-contained derivation of a fixed point…
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…
The Endpoint Theorem links the existence of a sequence (curve), without accumulation points, in a manifold to the existence of an open embedding of that manifold so that the image of the given sequence (curve) has a unique endpoint. It…
We provide a direct proof of Agafonov's theorem which states that finite state selection preserves normality. We also extends this result to the more general setting of shifts of finite type by defining selections which are compatible the…
We introduce a new type of mappings in metric space which are three-point analogue of the well-known Chatterjea type mappings, and call them generalized Chatterjea type mappings. It is shown that such mappings can be discontinuous as is the…
In measure theory, Steinhaus theorem is a result that deals with a property of the difference between two sets of positive measure. We give a simple elementary proof of the result.
We introduce a novel class of self-mappings on metric spaces, called \textbf{PA-contractions} (Path-Averaged Contractions), defined by an averaging condition over iterated distances. We prove that every continuous PA-contraction on a…
In this paper we consider partial metric spaces in the sense of O'Neill. We introduce the notions of strong partial metric spaces and Cauchy functions. We prove a fixed point theorem for such spaces and functions that improves Matthews'…
We extend the fixed point result for Path-Averaged Contractions (PA-contractions) from complete metric spaces to complete b-metric spaces. We prove that every PA-contraction on a complete b-metric space has a unique fixed point, provided…
We introduce a new class of asymptotic contractions that employs two quasi-metrics defined directly in terms of the underlying mapping. The contraction condition compares these two quantities via a sequence of bounding functions that…
In this paper we present, in the context of Diaconis' paradigm, a general method to detect the cutoff phenomenon. We use this method to prove cutoff in a variety of models, some already known and others not yet appeared in literature,…
Brouwer's fixed point theorem from 1911 is a basic result in topology - with a wealth of combinatorial and geometric consequences. In these lecture notes we present some of them, related to the game of HEX and to the piercing of multiple…
There is an extensive literature in social choice theory studying the consequences of weakening the assumptions of Arrow's Impossibility Theorem. Much of this literature suggests that there is no escape from Arrow-style impossibility…
In this survey we present some recent applications of proof mining to the fixed point theory of (asymptotically) nonexpansive mappings and to the metastability (in the sense of Terence Tao) of ergodic averages in uniformly convex Banach…
We prove that the Nash problem holds for two-dimensional rational double points in all characteristics. The proof is based on a direct computation of the families of arcs through these singularities.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a function in a naturally appearing functional space to be a fixed point of the Ruelle-Thurston operator associated to a rational function, see Lemma 2.1. The proof uses essentially a recent…
Category-measure duality concerns applications of Baire-category methods that have measure-theoretic analogues. The set-theoretic axiom needed in connection with the Baire category theorem is the Axiom of Dependent Choice DC rather than the…
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…
The Brouwer fixed point theorem states that the disk $D^n$ has the fixed point property. More generally, by the Lefschetz fixed point theorem any compact ANR with trivial rational homology has the fixed point property. In this note we prove…
