Iterative methods | Closure operators | Fixed-point theorems
In mathematics, a fixed-point theorem is a result saying that a function F will have at least one fixed point (a point x for which F(x) = x), under some conditions on F that can be stated in general terms. Some authors claim that results of this kind are amongst the most generally useful in mathematics. (Wikipedia).
In this video, I prove a very neat result about fixed points and give some cool applications. This is a must-see for calculus lovers, enjoy! Old Fixed Point Video: https://youtu.be/zEe5J3X6ISE Banach Fixed Point Theorem: https://youtu.be/9jL8iHw0ans Continuity Playlist: https://www.youtu
