S. The theory has several rather well-defined (yet overlapping) branches. The purely topological theory as well as those topics which lie on the borderline of topology and functional analysis (e.g. those related to Leray-Schauder theory) have their roots in the celebrated theorem of L. E. J. Brouwer. This paper presents a review of the available literature on fixed point theorems for various types of maps.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
