A Further Generalization of the Kakutani Fixed Point Theorem, with Application to Nash Equilibrium Points

Introduction. Kakutani's fixed point theorem [3]1 states that in Euclidean «-space a closed point to (nonvoid) convex set map of a convex compact set into itself has a fixed point. Kakutani showed that this implied the minimax theorem for finite games. The object of this note is to point out that Kakutani's theorem may be extended to convex linear topological spaces, and implies the minimax the...

Fixed Point and Equilibrium Theorems in Pseudoconvex and Related Spaces

Convexity spaces defined in the paper are generated by families of continuous functions. Without imposing any explicitly stated linear structure on the spaces, Browder’s, Brouwer’s and Kakutani’s fixed point theorems are proved and used for deriving generalized Fan inequalities and two-function minimax theorems. The existence of Nash equilibria in noncooperative games is also established under ...

No fixed point guarantee of Nash equilibrium in quantum games

The theory of quantum games permits players to choose strategies that prepare and measure quantum states. Whereas conventional game theory provides guarantees for fixed-point stability in non-cooperative games, so-called Nash equilibria, we find this guarantee is not provided for quantum games. In particular, we show the conditions for Glickberg’s fixed-point theorem do not apply to pure quantu...

Random fixed point theorems with an application to a random nonlinear integral equation

In this paper, stochastic generalizations of some fixed point for operators satisfying random contractively generalized hybrid and some other contractive condition have been proved. We discuss also the existence of a solution to a nonlinear random integral equation in Banah spaces.
