Fixed point theorem

Kyf — 0. This is the fixed-point equation for every positive normalized r there exists unique positive normalized steady state c (r) KrC (r) — 0, c >0 and c (r) = 1. We have to solve the equation r = c (r). The solution exists because the Brauer fixed point theorem. 

Such purely mathematical problems as the existence and uniqueness of solutions of parabolic partial differential equations subject to free boundary conditions will not be discussed. These questions have been fully answered in recent years by the contributions of Evans (E2), Friedman (Fo, F6, F7), Kyner (K8, K9), Miranker (M8), Miranker and Keller (M9), Rubinstein (R7, R8, R9), Sestini (S5), and others, principally by application of fixed-point theorems and Green s function techniques. Readers concerned with these aspects should consult these authors for further references. 

An important property of the systems having a convex finite co-invariant set is as follows. Any closed convex finite co-invariant set has a steady-state point. This follows from the known Brower fixed-point theorem (see, for example, ref. 21), that has been extensively used in various fields of mathematics to prove theorems concerning the existence of solutions. 

Proof. First, this is a fixed point theorem because it is enough to show some d, 0 in fc" is fixed by all g in G. Indeed, G then acts by unipotent maps on By induction on the dimension there is a basis [t>2], [r ] of the... 

The proof of the existence results is based on the study of a linearized system and on the application of the Schauder fixed point theorem. The convergence to the steady incompressible limit is obtained by proving that the solution is bounded independently of 0 large. (See [27,28].)... 

The assumption of the invariance of the boundary is stronger than needed, and the assumption that the space is locally compact can be removed at the expense of further assumptions on the dynamical system. The combination of dissipative and uniform persistence allows the use of fixed-point theorems. The following is sufficient for our applications in K". 

Some simplifications are possible if equivalence classes of symmorphy transformations can be defined where operations S from the same class transform the space occupied by the object A the same way and differ only in parts of the space where A is not present. Furthermore, using the Brouwer fixed point theorem, a subgroup structure of symmorphy groups Gjph( ) provides a more detailed characterization of molecular shape. These aspects will not be reviewed here. 

Most symmorphy groups hp are rather complicated and their direct use for molecular shape characterization and shape similarity analysis is not a trivial task. Some simplifications are possible using a technique based on the Brouwer fixed point theorem, as described in reference [43]. 

On a resonant invariant curve, out of the infinite set of r-multiple fixed points, only a finite (even) number survive, half stable and half unstable, as a consequence of the Poincare-Birkhoff fixed point theorem (Arnold and Avez, 1968 Lichtenberg and Lieberman, 1983), as shown schematically in Figure 14b. 

According to the Poincare-Birkhoff fixed point theorem all resonant tori break up for arbitrarily small perturbations. If the rotation number is p/q the perturbation leaves q pairs of hyperbolic and elliptic periodic orbits. The unstable hyperbolic orbits are embedded in a layer filled by aperiodic, chaotic orbits that do not stay on an invariant surface, but cover a finite non-zero volume of the phase space in a chaotic layer around the original resonant torus. The elliptic points, however, are wrapped around by new concentric tori that form islands of regular orbits within the chaotic band (Fig. 2.5). 

Suppose that the angle of rotation is (j>. Each point of the disc x is seen to be mapped to some unique point, x, which is the image of no other point. There is only one point, at the centre, that maps to itself for a rotation oi special point. They have the alternative property that hair on such a surface can all be brushed to lie in the same direction, unlike the hair on a disc, a sphere, or a human head which develops a crown. This is a striking property of a Mobius band, showing that all points in the surface are quivalent and any of these can be considered to be the central point. 

Finally, the theorem asserts the existence of at least one periodic solution. After a bit of algebra, this follows directly from the Brouwer fixed point theorem (see Hastings and Murray). 

The generalization of previous theorems to vector-valued functions x is immediate. The proof of the uniqueness theorem will be based on the generalization of Banach s fixed point theorem [50].

If quasi-concavity of the players payoffs cannot be verified, there is an alternative existence proof that relies on Tarski s (1955) fixed point theorem and involves the notion of supermodular games. The theory of supermodular games is a relatively recent development introduced and advanced by Topkis (1998).

The fixed-point theorem [eq, (XI.11)] is essential because when ii. reaches its limiting value u, the relationship between a , and Om-t [eq. (XI.9)] becomes a simple geometric series... 

Hence, for 0 < F < Fcut 2.64 only the non-negatitivity constraint on is active. It follows from the Banach Fixed Point Theorem (Sutherland, 2006) lhat the iteration sequence generated by G( ) will converge to a unique solution from all initial values in the range...
