Theorem 6 brouwers fixed point theorem for any given n. Our goal is to prove the brouwer fixed point theorem. The intermediate value theorem implies that every continuous function f. Various application of fixed point theorems will be given in the next chapter. Brouwers fixed point theorem is a result from topology that says no matter how you stretch, twist, morph, or deform a disc so long as you dont tear it, theres always one point that ends up in its original location. In mathematics, a fixedpoint theorem is a result saying that a function f will have at least one. Many existence problems in economics for example existence of competitive equilibrium in general equilibrium theory, existence of nash in equilibrium in game theory can be formulated as xed point problems. Let x be a locally convex topological vector space, and let k. Brouwers fixedpoint theorem is a fixedpoint theorem in topology, named after l.
