Talk:Fixed-point theorem

This page needs some organizing. As it stands, it may be a bit confusing. This is especially true because, in many contexts, a particular fixed point theorem is called the fixed point theorem. I noticed the diagonal lemma was not even connected with this page despite being called "fixed point theorem" in its Wikipedia page and "fixed point lemma" in my class and readings. We could start with a general discussion of the theorems at the top and then fork off into the separate theorems below. Teply (talk) 20:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed-point vs. fixed point

It is custommary to write "fixed-point theorem", not "fixed point theorem". This is so because "fixed point theorem" might be read as "a fixed theorem about points". I suggest that there should be a redirection from fixed point theorem to fixed-point theorem, not vice versa. Frege (talk) 09:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
