Continuously generated fixed points

On the Set of Fixed Points and Periodic Points of Continuously Differentiable Functions

The set of periodic points of self-maps of intervals has been studied for different reasons. The functions with smaller sets of periodic points are more likely not to share a periodic point. Of course, one has to decide what “big” or “small” means and how to describe this notion. In this direction one would be interested in studying the size of the sets of periodic points of self-maps of an int...

Diagonal arguments and fixed points

‎A universal schema for diagonalization was popularized by N.S‎. ‎Yanofsky (2003)‎, ‎based on a pioneering work of F.W‎. ‎Lawvere (1969)‎, ‎in which the existence of a (diagonolized-out and contradictory) object implies the existence of a fixed-point for a certain function‎. ‎It was shown that many self-referential paradoxes and diagonally proved theorems can fit in that schema‎. ‎Here‎, ‎we fi...

Continuously stable strategies as evolutionary branching points.

Evolutionary branching points are a paradigmatic feature of adaptive dynamics, because they are potential starting points for adaptive diversification. The antithesis to evolutionary branching points are continuously stable strategies (CSS's), which are convergent stable and evolutionarily stable equilibrium points of the adaptive dynamics and hence are thought to represent endpoints of adaptiv...

Digital Fixed Points, Approximate Fixed Points, and Universal Functions

A. Rosenfeld [23] introduced the notion of a digitally continuous function between digital images, and showed that although digital images need not have fixed point properties analogous to those of the Euclidean spaces modeled by the images, there often are approximate fixed point properties of such images. In the current paper, we obtain additional results concerning fixed points and approxima...
