By integrating the underlying developmental mechanisms for the phenotypic formation of traits into a mapping framework, functional mapping has emerged as an important statistical approach for mapping complex traits. In this note, we explore the feasibility of using the simplex algorithm as an alternative to solve the mixture-based likelihood for functional mapping of complex traits. The results...

a normed space $mathfrak{x}$ is said to have the fixed point property, if for each nonexpansive mapping $t : e longrightarrow e $ on a nonempty bounded closed convex subset $ e $ of $ mathfrak{x} $ has a fixed point. in this paper, we first show that if $ x $ is a locally compact hausdorff space then the following are equivalent: (i) $x$ is infinite set, (ii) $c_0(x)$ is infinite dimensional, (...
