Fixed points of multivalued contractions with nonclosed, nonconvex values

Salvatore A. Marano (1994)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

For a class of multivalued contractions with nonclosed, nonconvex values, the set of all fixed points is proved to be nonempty and arcwise connected. Two applications are then developed. In particular, one of them is concerned with some properties of the set of all classical trajectories corresponding to continuous controls for a given nonlinear control system.

Fixed Points of n-Valued Multimaps of the Circle

Robert F. Brown (2006)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

A multifunction ϕ: X ⊸ Y is n-valued if ϕ(x) is an unordered subset of n points of Y for each x ∈ X. The (continuous) n-valued multimaps ϕ: S¹ ⊸ S¹ are classified up to homotopy by an integer-valued degree. In the Nielsen fixed point theory of such multimaps, due to Schirmer, the Nielsen number N(ϕ) of an n-valued ϕ: S¹ ⊸ S¹ of degree d equals |n - d| and ϕ is homotopic to an n-valued power map that has exactly |n - d| fixed points. Thus the Wecken property, that Schirmer established for manifolds...

Fixed points of set-valued maps with closed proximally ∞-connected values

Grzegorz Gabor (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Introduction Many authors have developed the topological degree theory and the fixed point theory for set-valued maps using homological techniques (see for example [19, 28, 27, 16]). Lately, an elementary technique of single-valued approximation (on the graph) (see [11, 1, 13, 5, 9, 2, 6, 7]) has been used in constructing the fixed point index for set-valued maps with compact values (see [21, 20, 4]). In [20, 4] authors consider set-valued upper semicontinuous...

Flow compactifications of nondiscrete monoids, idempotents and Hindman’s theorem

Richard N. Ball, James N. Hagler (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We describe the extension of the multiplication on a not-necessarily-discrete topological monoid to its flow compactification. We offer two applications. The first is a nondiscrete version of Hindman’s Theorem, and the second is a characterization of the projective minimal and elementary flows in terms of idempotents of the flow compactification of the monoid.
