Fixed point theorem

Japanese: 不動点定理 - ふどうてんていり
Fixed point theorem
Let X be a set and f be a mapping from X to X itself. If f ( P ) = P holds for a point P in X , then P is called a fixed point, or a fixed point, of f . Some mappings have fixed points, and some do not. For example, when considering the set R of all real numbers, a mapping that maps x to has fixed points 0 and 1, but a mapping that maps x to x + 1 does not have a fixed point. Thus, the problem of finding the conditions for a mapping to have a fixed point can be considered, and various theorems related to this have been obtained when X is a topological space and f is a continuous mapping.

Japanese:
Xを集合とし,fXからX自身への写像とする。Xの点Pに対しf(P)=Pが成り立つならば,Pfの不動点,または固定点という。写像の中には不動点をもつものもあれば,もたないものもある。例えば,実数全体の集合Rを考えるとき,xx2にうつす写像は0と1を不動点にもつが,xx+1にうつす写像は不動点をもたない。それで,写像が不動点をもつための条件を求めるという問題が考えられるが,Xが位相空間でfが連続写像の場合に,これに関する種々の定理が得られている。
