We present two examples of nice normal spaces X having the property that for some xed-point free homeomorphism on X its Cech-Stone extension has a xed point. One of the spaces presented here is locally countable, locally compact, separable , normal, countably paracompact and weakly zero-dimensional. The other one is hereditarily normal and strongly zero-dimensional. Our construction of this exa...

Fixed points play a central role in domain theory, where, traditionally, the least-xed-point operator for continuous endofunctions on complete partial orders (cpos) is used. Recently, there has been considerable interest in developing a more general axiomatic (and order-free) account of the constructions of domain theory. Peter Freyd made an essential contribution to this programme by emphasisi...

We show that the Weyl group W = M 0 =M of a noncompact semisimple Lie group is obtained by taking xed point sets of smooth involutions in K=M. More precisely, one considers rst the xed point set X of the involutions deened on K=M by the elements of order 2 in exp ia. The Weyl group is either X , or the xed point set of the involutions deened on X by special elements of order 4 in exp ia.

Let f be a quadratic polynomial which has an irrationally indi erent xed point Let z be a biaccessible point in the Julia set of f Then In the Siegel case the orbit of z must eventually hit the critical point of f In the Cremer case the orbit of z must eventually hit the xed point Siegel polynomials with biaccessible critical point certainly exist but in the Cremer case it is possible that biac...

This paper investigates spatial panel data models with a space-time …lter in disturbances. We consider their estimation by both …xed e¤ects and random e¤ects speci…cations. With a between equation properly de…ned, the di¤erence of the random vs. …xed e¤ects models can be highlighted. We show that the random e¤ects estimate is a pooling of the within and between estimates. A Hausman type speci…c...

We prove that the period doubling operator has an expanding di rection at the xed point We use the induced operator a Perron Frobenius type operator to study the linearization of the period dou bling operator at its xed point We then use a sequence of linear operators with nite ranks to study this induced operator The proof is constructive One can calculate the expanding direction and the rate ...

Di erent options for block oating point lter implementation are introduced and their e ciency determined. The e ciency is quanti ed by the additional number of operations over those required for xed point operation. Some of the implementations are new. It is shown that they are more e cient than the existing ones. Examples are given in which the processing time per recursion of a block oating p...

We show how to onstru t pseudo-random permutations that satisfy a ertain y le restri tion, for example that the permutation be y li ( onsisting of one y le ontaining all the elements) or an involution (a self-inverse permutation) with no xed points. The onstru tion an be based on any (unrestri ted) pseudo-random permutation. The resulting permutations are de ned su in tly and their evaluation a...

We deene a (chaotic) deterministic variant of random multiplicative cascade models of turbulence. It preserves the hierarchical tree structure , thanks to the addition of innnitesimal noise. The zero-noise limit can be handled by Perron-Frobenius theory, just as the zero-diiusivity limit for the fast dynamo problem. Random multiplicative models do not possess Kolmogorov 1941 (K41) scaling becau...

This paper presents an algorithm for solving Boolean xed-point equations containing one level of nesting of minimum and maximum xed points. The algorithm assumes that the equations of the inner xed point is of a certain restricted kind and has a worst-case time-and space-complexity that is linear in the size of the equation system. By observing that a range of behavioral relations { in particul...
