A fixed point theorem for a compact and connected set in Hilbert space
A fixed point theorem for a compact and connected set in Hilbert space
Let (H,) be a real Hilbert space and let K be a compact and connected subset of H. We show that every continuous mapping T : K → K satisfying a mild condition has a fixed point.
