Properties of the derivative $\frac{\delta F(\phi(x))}{\delta\phi(y)}$ , where $ \phi(x) = F(\phi(x)) $ is a fixed point problem.

Dear experts I have a fixed point problem of the type: $ \phi(x) = F(\phi(x)) $, where $x \in \mathbb R^3 $. $\phi(x)$ is differentiable non-negative function on a given domain. I am trying to find ...

A smooth or analytic function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ that has fixed points at $kn^2$ where $n$ is prime and $k$ is integer

In A continuous function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ that has fixed points at $kn^2$ where $n$ is prime and $k$ is integer, I asked about continuous function. This time, I would like to ask the ...

A continuous function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ that has fixed points at $kn^2$ where $n$ is prime and $k$ is integer

Can we find a continuous function from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ that has fixed points at $kn^2$ for every integer $k$ and every prime number $n$? And other points other than these are not fixed ...

Application of Banach fixed-point theorem

I am looking for a function $f:[0,1]\rightarrow\mathbb R$ which satifies $\int_{0}^{1}\frac{\sin(f(t)-y)}{2}\,\mathrm dy=f(t)$ for $t\in[0,1]$. The first thing I do is to define a function ...

Where does the iteration of the exponential map switch from one fixpoint to the 3-periodic fixpoint cycle?

In the answering of another question in MSE I've dealt with the iteration of $x=b^x$ where the base $b=i$. If I reversed that iteration $x=log(x)/log(i)$ then I run into a cycle of 3 periodic ...

Fixed point of a non linear contraction in a convex set

Hi I'm stuck on the following problem of Haim's functional analysis book. Let $C\subseteq H$ ($H$ a Hilbert space) be a non-empty closed convex subset and let $T:C\rightarrow C$ be a non linear ...

Fixpoint of monotone operators

Let $X$ be some set and let $F$ be the set of all functions with a domain $X$ and a range $[0,1]$. We consider $F$ to be a partially ordered set with $f\leq g$ if and only if $f(x)\leq g(x)$ for all ...

Is there a simple way to prove the Brouwer fixed Point theorem?

The quest may be for references but I want to know if there is a simple way to prove the Brouwer fixed point theorem! That is if a function $f:\bar{B}\to\bar{B}$ is continuous then $f$ admits one ...

Question about Fixed Point Theorem Hypotheses

Consider the following (less general than possible) statement of Schauder's fixed point theorem: Suppose that $X$ is a Banach space, that $B_1$ is the unit ball of $X$ and that $f: X \to X$ is a ...

Contraction mapping in an incomplete metric space

Let us consider a contraction mapping $f$ acting on metric space $(X,~\rho)$ ($f:X\to X$ and for any $x,y\in X:\rho(f(x),f(y))\leq k~\rho(x,y),~ 0 < k < 1$). If $X$ is complete, then there ...

Fixed point: linear operators

I ask my question in two parts: though the topic is similar, I would like to distinguish linear and general cases since methods may be too different while my questions are broad. Consider a space $X$ ...

Vector valued contraction

I am familiar with the Banach Fixed Point Theorem and I have used it to prove existence and uniqueness of functional equations in Banach spaces like $C(X)$, the space of bounded continuous function ...
