Description for Fixed Points (Mathematical World)
Paperback. Presents an exposition of fixed point theory. This work focuses on the problem of whether a closed interval, square, disk, or sphere has the fixed point property. It aims to show how fixed point theory uses combinatorial ideas related to decomposition of figures into distinct parts called faces, which adjoin each other in a regular fashion. Series: Mathematical World. Num Pages: 86 pages. BIC Classification: PBKF; PBP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 254 x 178. Weight in Grams: 170.
The theory of fixed points finds its roots in the work of Poincare, Brouwer, and Sperner and makes extensive use of such topological notions as continuity, compactness, homotopy, and the degree of a mapping. Fixed point theorems have numerous applications in mathematics; most of the theorems ensuring the existence of solutions for differential, integral, operator, or other equations can be reduced to fixed point theorems. In addition, these theorems are used in such areas as mathematical economics and game theory. This book presents a readable exposition of fixed point theory.
