Schauder fixed point theorem
Let be a normed vector space, and let be a non-empty, compact
, and convex set.Then given any continuous mapping there exists such that .
Notice that the unit disc of a finite dimensional vector space is always convex and compact hence this theorem extends Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem![]()
.
Notice that the space is not required to be complete, however the subset being compact,is complete with respect to the metric induced by .
