Fixpoints are ubiquitous in computer science and when dealing with quantitative semantics and verification one often considers least fixpoints of (higher-dimensional) functions over the non-negative reals. We show how to approximate the…

A sequence of non-negative integers is exactly realizable as the fixed point counts sequence of a dynamical system if and only if it gives rise to a sequence of non-negative orbit counts. This provides a simple realizability criterion based…

Recent empirical studies have identified fixed point iteration phenomena in deep neural networks, where the hidden state tends to stabilize after several layers, showing minimal change in subsequent layers. This observation has spurred the…

We consider a class of growing random graphs obtained by creating vertices sequentially one by one: at each step, we choose uniformly the neighbours of the newly created vertex; its degree is a random variable with a fixed but arbitrary…

This paper studies the counting problem in random dynamical systems. We noticed that the nature of counting in the random setting is completely different than that of the deterministic systems in the sense that non-exponential growth is…

Logic programming with fixed-point definitions is a useful extension of traditional logic programming. Fixed-point definitions can capture simple model checking problems and closed-world assumptions. Its operational semantics is typically…

We consider the inhomogeneous version of the fixed-point equation of the smoothing transformation, that is, the equation $X \stackrel{d}{=} C + \sum_{i \geq 1} T_i X_i$, where $\stackrel{d}{=}$ means equality in distribution,…

The present report extends the method of fixed point clustering (Phys.Rev. E 61,5, R4691-4693, 2000) by introducing an indirect criterion for the number of clusters. The derived probability function allows an objective distinction of…

The classical Brouwer fixed point theorem states that in R^d every continuous function from a convex, compact set on itself has a fixed point. For an arbitrary probability space, let L^0 = L^0 (\Omega, A,P) be the set of random variables.…

The \textit{order of appearance} $ z(n) $ of a positive integer $ n $ in the Fibonacci sequence is defined as the smallest positive integer $ j $ such that $ n $ divides the $ j $-th Fibonacci number. A \textit{fixed point} arises when, for…

An automatic sequence is a letter-to-letter coding of a fixed point of a uniform morphism. More generally, we have morphic sequences, which are letter-to-letter codings of fixed points of arbitrary morphisms. There are many examples where…
