Question 1

For integers $n$, the arithmetic derivative $D(n)$ is defined as follows: $D(p) = 1$, for any prime $p$. $D(mn) = D(m)n + mD(n)$, for any $m,n\in\mathbb{N}$ (Leibniz rule). The Leibniz rule implies ...

Question 2

I am trying to disentangle the proof of Brouwer's fixed point theorem via van Maaren's geometry-free Sperner lemma in Eric Schechter's Handbook of Analysis and its Foundations (sections 3.28-3.37). ...

Question 3

When b is a real number non inclusively between 1 and $e^{e^{-1}}$, $b^x$ has two real fixed points. If b is increased to $e^{e^{-1}}$, the two real fixed points combine into one real fixed point. If ...

Question 4

My intuition for the answer is NO, here is my thought: Let $T(x,\lambda)$ be the map depending on one parameter $\lambda$, assume at $(x_0,\lambda_0)$ a tangent bifurcation occurs for the $T^2$ map, ...

Question 5

Given a fixed $n$, I wanted a continuous function $f$ (preferably whose domain is $\mathbb{R}$) such that, applying $f^n$ (i.e. applying it $n$ times) to $x$ gives you back $x$ for any $x$ in the ...

Question 6

Consider the 1-dimensional autonomous ODE \begin{align} \dot{x} = \mu + 2x^2 - x^4 \end{align} where $\mu \in \mathbb{R}$ is a parameter. I have found the fixed points, their stability, and plotted ...

Question 7

Let $G$ be a group. Amongst the subgroups of $G$ defined as the fixed-point set of some subgroup $\Xi(G)$ of $\operatorname{Aut}(G)$: $$X(G):=\{g\in G\mid \forall \varphi \in\Xi(G),\varphi(g)=g\}$$ ...

Question 8

The problem determine the sets $A\subset \mathbb Q$ for which there exists a function $f:\mathbb Q\to \mathbb Q$ with the property that $Fix(f)=A$ and $f(f(x))=x$ for any $x\in \mathbb Q$ (We have ...

Question 9

I am puzzled by a question in my Non-Linear Dynamics lecture. Is there a System of equations of the form $a\in \mathbb{N}, a > 1 $ $$\dot x = x[(x-1)(x+1)]-y$$ $$\dot y = y(1-y^2-ax^2)$$ with only ...

Question 10

Consider the following system of two nonlinear equations: $h'_{x}( x) -C y -C_{1}=0$ $h'_{y}( y) -C x -C_{2}=0$ With $x,y\in[0,1]$ The $h$ functions both satisfy $h(0)=0$, $\lim _{t\rightarrow 1} h( t)...

Question 11

I want to prove that the function $f:[-1,1]\rightarrow [-1,1]$ given by \begin{equation*} f(x)=\frac{1}{2}x^2 \end{equation*} is not a Rakotch contraction. To give the definition of a Rakotch ...

Question 12

The real function $cos$ has a unique fixed point. But I have never seen a closed-form expression for that fixed point. I now suspect that there isn't any closed-form expression for that real number. ...

Question 13

I'll preface this by saying I am not very experienced with formal proofs, so that's mainly why I'm asking for help here. I found several other threads on this topic here on Math SE, but most of them ...

Question 14

Let $s_n$ be a random permutation of the first $n$ nonzero positive integers. By a well-known combinatorial result of Montmort, the expected number of fixed points is 1: $E(fp(s_n)) = 1$. But suppose ...

Question 15

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric spaces and $T$ be a self mapping of $X$ with a unique fixed point $z$ such that for any $x\in X$ the sequence $T^n(x)$ converges to $z$. Then, is at always the case that there ...
