Ryll-Nardzewski fixed-point theorem

Ryll-Nardzewski fixed-point theorem In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, the Ryll-Nardzewski fixed-point theorem states that if {displaystyle E} is a normed vector space and {displaystyle K} is a nonempty convex subset of {displaystyle E} that is compact under the weak topology, then every group (or equivalently: every semigroup) of affine isometries of {displaystyle K} has at least one fixed point. (Here, a fixed point of a set of maps is a point that is fixed by each map in the set.) This theorem was announced by Czesław Ryll-Nardzewski.[1] Later Namioka and Asplund [2] gave a proof based on a different approach. Ryll-Nardzewski himself gave a complete proof in the original spirit.[3] Applications The Ryll-Nardzewski theorem yields the existence of a Haar measure on compact groups.[4] See also Fixed-point theorems Fixed-point theorems in infinite-dimensional spaces References ^ Ryll-Nardzewski, C.
