A combinatorial Lefschetz fixed point formula

We define a class of simplicial maps — those which are “expanding directions preserving” — from a barycentric subdivision to the original simplicial complex. These maps naturally induce a self map on the links of their fixed points. The local index at a fixed point of such a map turns out to be the Lefschetz number of the induced map on the link of the fixed point in relative homology. We also show that a weakly hyperbolic [4] simplicial map sdⁿK →K is expanding directions preserving.     

On the location of fixed points on pairs of spaces

Let f: (X, A)→(X, A) be an admissible selfmap of a pair of metrizable ANR's. A Nielsen number of the complement Ñ(f; X, A) and a Nielsen number of the boundary ñ(f; X, A) are defined. Ñ(f; X, A) is a lower bound for the number of fixed points on C1(X - A) for all maps in the homotopy class of f. It is usually possible to homotope f to a map which is fixed point free on Bd A, but maps in the homotopy class of f which have a minimal fixed point set on X must have at least ñ(f; X, A) fixed points on Bd A. It is shown that for many pairs of compact polyhedra these lower bounds are the best possible ones, as there exists a map homotopic to f with a minimal fixed point set on X which has exactly Ñ(f; X - A) fixed points on C1(X−A) and ñ(f; X, A) fixed points on Bd A. These results, which make the location of fixed points on pairs of spaces more precise, sharpen previous ones which show that the relative Nielsen number N(f; X, A) is the minimum number of fixed points on all of X for selfmaps of (X, A), as well as results which use Lefschetz fixed point theory to find sufficient conditions for the existence of one fixed point on C1(X−A).     

Definability of Least Fixed Points

Least fixed points of modal logic are studied. We introduce a class of Kripke models and prove that least fixed points of positive operators are definable in these. The class is widest of the known ones in which least fixed points of positive operators are definable.     

Existence of multiple fixed points for nonlinear operators and applications

In this paper, by the fixed point index theory, the number of fixed points for sublinear and asymptotically linear operators via two coupled parallel sub-super solutions is studied. Under suitable conditions, the existence of at least nine or seven distinct fixed points for sublinear and asymptotically linear operators is proved. Finally, the theoretical results are applied to a nonlinear system of Hammerstein integral equations.

Asynchronous cellular automata and pattern classification

This article designs an efficient two‐class pattern classifier utilizing asynchronous cellular automata (ACAs). The two‐state three‐neighborhood one‐dimensional ACAs that converge to fixed points from arbitrary seeds are used here for pattern classification. To design the classifier, (1) we first identify a set of ACAs that always converge to fixed points from any seeds, (2) each ACA should have at least two but not huge number of fixed point attractors, and (3) the convergence time of these ACAs are not to be exponential. To address the second issue, we propose a graph, coined as fixed point graph of an ACA that facilitates in counting the fixed points. We further perform an experimental study to estimate the convergence time of ACAs, and find there are some convergent ACAs which demand exponential convergence time. Finally, we identify there are 73 (out of 256) ACAs which can be effective candidates as pattern classifier. We use each of the candidate ACAs on some standard datasets, and observe the effectiveness of each ACAs as pattern classifier. It is observed that the proposed classifier is very competitive and performs reliably better than many standard existing classifier algorithms. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Torus actions,fixed-point formulas,elliptic genera and positive curvature

We study fixed points of smooth torus actions on closed manifolds using fixed point formulas and equivariant elliptic genera. We also give applications to positively curved Riemannian manifolds with symmetry.     

Equivariant Novikov Inequalities

We establish an equivariant generalization of the Novikov inequalities which allows us to estimate the topology of the set of critical points of a closed basic invariant form by means of twisted equivariant cohomology of the manifold. We apply these inequalities to study cohomology of the fixed points set of a symplectic torus action. We show that in this case our inequalities are perfect, i.e. they are in fact equalities.     

Nielsen numbers of mappings of surfaces

With each continuous map f of a compact polyhedron into itself there is associated a certain natural number, its Nielsen number N(f). The Nielsen number N(f) is bounded below by the number of fixed points of any map homotopic to f. The question of the sharpness of this estimate is classical: can one find for a given map f a map homotopic to it having exactly N(f) fixed points? It is known that this estimate is not sharp in general and that it is sharp for maps of compact polyhedra, which do not have locally separating points and which are not surfaces. The main result of the paper shows that this estimate is sharp for homotopy self-equivalence of compact surfaces. Its proof is based on Thurston's theory of diffeomorphisms of surfaces. In addition examples of maps of compact surfaces into themselves are discussed in the paper for which it seems that this estimate is not sharp.     

Estimating 2‐cycle fixed points of henon map using backpropagation neural networks

The objective of this research is the presentation of a feed‐forward neural network capable of estimating the 2‐cycle fixed points of Henon map by solving their defining nonlinear algebraic system. The network uses the back propagation algorithm and solves the aforementioned system for a set of values of the parameters α and β of Henon map. Besides the estimation of the fixed points, the paper includes the study of the network convergence and its speed for many different initial conditions. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Common fixed points for four maps in cone metric spaces

The existence of coincidence points and common fixed points for four mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions without exploiting the notion of continuity of any map involved therein, in a cone metric space is proved. These results extend, unify and generalize several well known comparable results in the existing literature.

Equivariant Surgery Theory: Deleting-Inserting Theorems of Fixed Point Manifolds on Spheres and Disks

The paper gives a tool to delete and insert fixed point manifolds for smooth actions of finite Oliver groups on spheres and disks. A similar result was already given in a joint article with E. Laitinen and K. Pawaowski for those of finite nonsolvable groups on spheres. It is useful in classifying smooth actions on spheres from the view point of fixed point data. The methods employed in the present paper are equivariant surgery and equivariant connected sum associated with elements in the Burnside ring. The idea of killing surgery obstructions is as follows: Let G be a finite group not of prime power order, C a contractible, finiteG CW complex, and an element in a K theoretic group arising as an obstruction class of geometric object f. It often holds that (1-[C])^m becomes trivial for large integers m where [C] is the element represented byC in the Burnside ring (G). One expects that the algebraic object (1 - [C])^m is realizable as the obstruction class of G connected sum of f's related to (1 - [C])^m. Since it is true for the case here, we can kill the obstruction by taking G connected sum off's     

On the periodic points of functions on a manifold

In a conference on fixed point theory, B. Halpern of Indiana University considered the problem of reducing the number of periodic points of a map by homotopy. He also asked whether the number of periodic points of a function could be increased by a homotopy. In this paper, we will show that for any map on a closed manifold, an arbitrarily small perturbation can always create infinitely many periodic points of arbitrarily high periods.

Formules de localisation en cohomologie equivariante

In this paper, we develop a method of localization in equivariant cohomology based on the notion of partition of unity cohomology. We apply this method in two cases. In the first case, this method gives a refinement of the localization of Atiyah–Bott and Berline–Vergne (in the frame given by Bismut). After, we consider the Hamiltonian action of a torus, and we realise, following the idea of Witten, the localization on the critical points of the square of the moment map.     

Fixed Points in Tense Models

We study into definability of least fixed points in tense logic. It is proved that least fixed points of tense positive -operators are definable in transitive linear models. Examples are furnished showing that the least fixed points of tense positive operators may fail to be definable in the class of finite linearly ordered models, and the class of finite strictly linearly ordered models. Moreover, in dealing with the modal case, we point out examples of the non-definable inflationary points in the model classes mentioned.     

Existence of nonzero positive solutions of systems of second order

Existence of nonzero positive solutions  of systems of second order elliptic boundary value problems under sublinear conditions is obtained. The methodology is to establish a new result on existence of nonzero positive solutions of a fixed point equation in real Banach spaces by using the well-known theory of fixed point index for compact maps defined on cones, where the fixed point equation involves composition of a compact linear operator and a continuous nonlinear map. The conditions imposed on the nonlinear maps involve the spectral radii of the compact linear operators. Moreover, the nonlinear maps are not required to be increasing in  ordered Banach spaces.
