Template:Analogous fixed-point theorems
Appearance
There are several fixed-point theorems which come in 3 equivalent variants: an algebraic topology variant, a combinatorial variant and a set-covering variant. Each variant can be proved separately using totally different arguments, but each variant can also be reduced to the other variants in its row. Additionally, each result can be reduced to the other result in its column.[1]
Algebraic topology | Combinatorics | Set covering |
---|---|---|
Brouwer fixed point theorem | Sperner's lemma | KKM lemma |
Borsuk–Ulam theorem | Tucker's lemma | Lusternik–Schnirelmann theorem |
