Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem![]() The surprising Brouwer fixed point theorem implies that if you crumple a map and place it on a copy of itself, at least one point on the crumpled map will be exactly on top of the corresponding point on the uncrumpled copy, no matter how it is placed; If you stir a cup of coffee, at least one point in the coffee will always be in its original position. You can gain an intuitive feeling for why that is so in this one-dimensional Demonstration of the theorem. ![]() "Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem" from The Wolfram Demonstrations Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/BrouwerFixedPointTheorem/ Contributed by: Christopher Carlson |
