Continuous mappings and fixed-point theorems
Vondrouš, David ; Holický, Petr (advisor) ; Zelený, Miroslav (referee)
This thesis deals with images of compact convex sets under a continuous mapping. We will show a combinatorial proof of famous Brouwer's fixed-point theorem based on Sperner's lemma. Later, this theorem will be applied for proving Brouwer's invariance of domain theorem, which asserts that image of an open subset of an euclidean space under a continuous mapping is open too. Then we will compare this proof with another proof using Borsuk's theorems. Their proof is more complicated, nevertheless it turns out that Borsuk's theorems give stronger results. One of them is, for instance, an analogy of the Darboux property for continuous mappings in an multidimensional space. 1
