Fixed point problem involving a minimization

Let $X \subset {\Bbb R}^n$ be a compact and convex set, and let $f : X \times X \to {\Bbb R}$ be a continuous and differentiable scalar field defined by $$ f(x,x^*)=g(x) + \sum_{i=1}^n x_ih_i(x^*). $$ ...

Generalized Tarski fixed point theorem to multivariate functions

I wish to know if a theorem like the following exists, or if there are any obvious counterexamples. This theorem generalizes Tarski's fixed point theorem in the case of powersets. Let $X,Y$ be non-...

Understanding Tarski's fixed-point theorem.

I changed my question slightly. (Tarski Fixed Point Theorem). Let $X=\prod^{N}_{i=1} X_{i}$ where each $X_{i}$ is a compact interval of $\mathbb{R}$. Suppose $\phi : X \rightarrow X$ is an increasing ...

Proof of general Knaster-Tarski fixpoint theorem

Prove that the set of fixed points $Fix(f)$ of an order-preserving operator $f$ on a complete lattice $(L, \sqsubseteq)$ is a complete lattice itself. Moreover, show that $\mathrm{Fix}(f)$ is a ...

Tarski Fixed Point Theorem Counterexample?

I have a quick question regarding Tarski's fixed point theorem. It states that for all order-preserving $f:X\to X$, the set of fixed points must be a complete lattice. I was wondering how that would ...

Fixed points in a complete lattice

Let $(X,\leq)$ be a complete lattice, $\perp,\top$ be the least and the greatest element of $X$ and $f:X\to X$ is a monotonic function. Tarski's fixed point theorem states that the set of fixed ...

Is this simple demand-based prices game a submodular game?

I have this simple market game: $I=\{1,2...,n\}$ players $S_i$ strategy space of each player $i\in I$ $u_i(s_i,s_{-i})=R_i(s_i)-C(s_i,s_{-i})$ There's only one type of resource. The resource is ...

Regarding a proof of Tarski-Knaster's fixed point theorem

I'm trying to prove the following theorem, Let $(X, \leq)$ be a complete lattice. If $\phi:X \to X$ is order preserving, it has a fixed point. So far, I've done the following: I've defined the ...

Simultaneous Least/Greatest Fixed Points

I have two functions $f : V \times S \to V$ and $g : V \times S \to S$ where $V$ and $S$ are complete lattices and $v \subseteq v' \wedge s \subseteq s'$ implies $f(v, s) \subseteq f(v', s') \wedge g(...

Interpretation of Tarski's fixed point theorem

I have a question regarding Tarski's fixed point theorem. Consider the set $$\mathcal{X}:={0,1}^2:=\{(1,1), (0,1), (1,0), (0,0)\}$$ Consider the vector $X:=(X_1,X_2)$ taking value in $\mathcal{X}$. ...

Common fixed point of commuting monotonic functions

Let $P$ be a chain-complete poset with a least element, and let $f_1,f_2,\ldots,f_n$ be order-preserving maps $P\to P$ such that $\forall i,j: f_i \circ f_j = f_j\circ f_i$. Claim. The functions $f_1,...
