   A 1951 paper by H. D. Block and H. P. Thielman sparked interest in the subject of fixed points of commuting functions. [1] Building on earlier work by J. F. Ritt and A. G. Walker, Block and Thielman identified sets of pairwise commuting polynomials and studied their properties, including that all of the polynomials in each set would share a common fixed point.
