Fixed-point space

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In mathematics, a Hausdorff space X is called a fixed-point space if it obeys a fixed-point theorem, according to which every continuous function has a fixed point, a point for which .[1]

For example, the

compact bounded convex set in a Euclidean space is a fixed-point space.[1]

The definition of a fixed-point space can also be extended from continuous functions of topological spaces to other classes of maps on other types of space.[1]
