  2. Fixed-point iteration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_iteration

    In numerical analysis, fixed-point iteration is a method of computing fixed points of a function.. More specifically, given a function defined on the real numbers with real values and given a point in the domain of , the fixed-point iteration is + = (), =,,, … which gives rise to the sequence,,, … of iterated function applications , (), (()), … which is hoped to converge to a point .

  3. Fixed-point theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point_theorem

    The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if it is satisfied, the procedure of iterating a function yields a fixed point. [2]By contrast, the Brouwer fixed-point theorem (1911) is a non-constructive result: it says that any continuous function from the closed unit ball in n-dimensional Euclidean space to itself must have a fixed point, [3] but it doesn ...

    X is a fixed-point of if and only if x is a root of , and x is an ε-residual fixed-point of if and only if x is an ε-root of . Chen and Deng [ 18 ] show that the discrete variants of these problems are computationally equivalent: both problems require Θ ( n d − 1 ) {\displaystyle \Theta (n^{d-1})} function evaluations.

  5. Fixed point (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_point_(mathematics)

    The function () = + (shown in red) has the fixed points 0, 1, and 2. In mathematics, a fixed point (sometimes shortened to fixpoint), also known as an invariant point, is a value that does not change under a given transformation. Specifically, for functions, a fixed point is an element that is mapped to itself by the function. Any set of fixed ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anderson_acceleration

    In mathematics, Anderson acceleration, also called Anderson mixing, is a method for the acceleration of the convergence rate of fixed-point iterations. Introduced by Donald G. Anderson, [ 1 ] this technique can be used to find the solution to fixed point equations f ( x ) = x {\displaystyle f(x)=x} often arising in the field of computational ...

  7. Common fixed point problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_fixed_point_problem

    In mathematics, the common fixed point problem is the conjecture that, for any two continuous functions that map the unit interval into itself and commute under functional composition, there must be a point that is a fixed point of both functions.

    The last image we have of Patrick Cagey is of his first moments as a free man. He has just walked out of a 30-day drug treatment center in Georgetown, Kentucky, dressed in gym clothes and carrying a Nike duffel bag.

  9. Kleene's recursion theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleene's_recursion_theorem

    The second part of the first recursion theorem follows from the first part. The assumption that Φ is a recursive operator is used to show that the fixed point of Φ is the graph of a partial function. The key point is that if the fixed point F is not the graph of a function, then there is some k such that F k is not the graph of a function.
