Overview

This is the only book that deals comprehensively with fixed point theorems throughout mathematics. Their importance is due, as the book demonstrates, to their wide applicability. Beyond the first chapter, each of the other seven can be read independently of the others so the reader has much flexibility to follow his/her own interests. The book is written for graduate students and professional mathematicians and could be of interest to physicists, economists and engineers.Contents: Early Fixed Point TheoremsFixed Point Theorems in AnalysisThe Lefschetz Fixed Point TheoremFixed Point Theorems in GeometryFixed Points of Volume Preserving MapsBorel's Fixed Point Theorem in Algebraic GroupsMiscellaneous Fixed Point TheoremsA Fixed Point Theorem in Set TheoryReadership: Graduate students and professionals in analysis, approximation theory, algebra and geometry.
