Kakutani Fixed-point Theorem - Statement

Statement

Kakutani's theorem states:

Let S be a non-empty, compact and convex subset of some Euclidean space Rn. Let φ: S → 2S be a set-valued function on S with a closed graph and the property that φ(x) is non-empty and convex for all x ∈ S. Then φ has a fixed point.

When we say that the graph of is closed, we mean that for all sequences and such that, and for all, we have .

Famous quotes containing the word statement:

    “After the first powerful plain manifesto
    The black statement of pistons, without more fuss
    But gliding like a queen, she leaves the station.”
    —Stephen Spender (1909–1995)

    “If we do take statements to be the primary bearers of truth, there seems to be a very simple answer to the question, what is it for them to be true: for a statement to be true is for things to be as they are stated to be.”
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    “Truth is used to vitalize a statement rather than devitalize it. Truth implies more than a simple statement of fact. “I don’t have any whisky,” may be a fact but it is not a truth.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)
