  • We obtain new fixed point theorems on maps defined on "locally G-convex" subsets of a generalized convex spaces. Our first theorem is a Schauder-Tychonoff type generalization of the Brouwer fixed point theorem for a G-convex space, and the second main result is a fixed point theorem for the Kakutani maps. Our results extend many known generalizations of the Brouwer theorem, and are based on the Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz theorem. From these results, we deduce new results on collectively fixed points, intersection theorems for sets with convex sections and quasi-equilibrium theorems.

  • There seems to be a love-hate relationship between Brouwer's fixed point theorem and the fundamental theorem of algebra; in this note we offer one more tweak at it, and give a version of Rouches theorem.

  • In the present paper, we introduce fundamental results in the KKM theory for G-convex spaces which are equivalent to the Brouwer theorem, the Sperner lemma, and the KKM theorem. Those results are all abstract versions of known corresponding ones for convex subsets of topological vector spaces. Some earlier applications of those results are indicated. Finally, We give a new proof of the Himmelberg fixed point theorem and G-convex space versions of the von Neumann type minimax theorem and the Nash equilibrium theorem as typical examples of applications of our theory.

  • Applications of the classical Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz theorem [KKM] and the fixed point theory of multifunctions defined on convex subsets of topological vector spaces have been greatly improved by adopting the concept of convex spaces due to Lassonde[L]. Recently, this concept has been extended to pseudo-convex spaces, contractible spaces, or spaces having certain families of contractible subsets by Horvath[H1-4]. In the present paper we give a far-reaching generalization of the best approximation theorem of Ky Fan[F1, 2] to pseudo-metric spaces and improved versions of the well-known fixed point theorems due to Brouwer [B] and Schauder [S] for spaces having certain families of contractible subsets. Our basic tool is a generalized Fan-Browder type fixed point theorem in our previous works [P3, 4].

  • In this article we prove a version of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem in linear algebra using the Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem in topology. We will mostly concentrate on he qualitative aspect of the Perron-Frobenius Theorem rather than quantitative formulas, which would be enough for theoretical investigations in ergodic theory. By the nature of the method of the proof, we do not expect to obtain a numerical estimate. But we may regard it worthwhile to see why a certain type of result should be true from a topological and geometrical viewpoint. However, a geometric argument alone would give us a sharp numerical bounds on the size of the eigenvalue as shown in Section 2. Eigenvectors of a matrix A will be fixed points of a certain mapping defined in terms of A. We shall modify an existing proof of Frobenius Theorem and that will do the trick for Perron-Frobenius Theorem.

  • This is a continuation of the author's previous work [17]. In this paper, we consider mainly variational inequalities for single-valued functions. We first obtain a generalization of the variational type inequality of Juberg and Karamardian [10] and apply it to obtain strengthened versions of the Hartman-Stampacchia inequality and the Brouwer fixed point theorem. Next, we obtain fairly general versions of Browder's variational inequality [5] and its subsequent generalizations due to Brezis et al [4], Takahashk [23], Shih and Tan [19], Simons [20], and others. Finally, in this paper, we obtain a variational inequality for non-real locally convex t.v.s. which generalizes a result of Shih and Tan [19].

  • In this paper, we approximate the solution of the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations by using a fully discrete finite element scheme based on the standard Galerkin method in space and implicit midpoint discretization in time. The proposed scheme guarantees the conservation of the total mass and the energy. First, a priori error estimates for the fully discrete Galerkin method is derived. Second, the existence of the approximated solution is proved by virtue of the Brouwer fixed point theorem. Moreover, the uniqueness of the solution is shown. Finally, convergence orders of the fully discrete Crank-Nicolson scheme are discussed. The end of the paper is devoted to some numerical experiments.
