Let F:0,1n⟶0,1n be a parallel dynamical system over an undirected graph with a Boolean maxterm or minterm function as a global evolution operator. It is well known that every periodic point has at most two periods. Actually, periodic points of different periods cannot coexist, and a fixed point theorem is also known. In addition, an upper bound for the number of periodic points of F has been given. In this paper, we complete the study, solving the minimum number of periodic points’ problem for this kind of dynamical systems which has been usually considered from the point of view of complexity. In order to do this, we use methods based on the notions of minimal dominating sets and maximal independent sets in graphs, respectively. More specifically, we find a lower bound for the number of fixed points and a lower bound for the number of 2-periodic points of F. In addition, we provide a formula that allows us to calculate the exact number of fixed points. Furthermore, we provide some conditions under which these lower bounds are attained, thus generalizing the fixed-point theorem and the 2-period theorem for these systems.

It is shown how George D. Birkhoff's proof of the Poincaré Birkhoff theorem can be modified using ideas of H. Poincaré to give a rather precise lower bound on the number of components of the set of periodic points of the annulus. Some open problems related to this theorem are discussed.

This work concerns a climate system in the point of view of controllability. We obtain by the Kakutani’s fixed point theorem and the controllability property of the linear parabolic equation that the superlinear climate system is null controllable in the case with interior control.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional dynamical systems in finite dimensional spaces. Sufficient conditions for controllability are obtained using Schauder’s fixed point theorem and the controllability Grammian matrix which is defined by the Mittag-Leffler matrix function. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theory.

A common fixed point theorem of S.L. and S.P. Singh is generalized by weakening commutativity hypotheses and by increasing the number of functions involved.

The notion of “Semigroup compactification” which is in a sense, a generalization of the classical Bohr (almost periodic) compactification of the usual additive realsR, has been studied by J. F. Berglund et. al. [2]. Their approach to the theory of semigroup compactification is based on the Gelfand-Naimark theory of commutativeC*algebras, where the spectra of admissibleC*-algebras, are the semigroup compactifications. H. D. Junghenn's extensive study of distal functions is from the point of view of semigroup compactifications [5]. In this paper, extending Junghenn's work, we generalize the notion of distal flows and distal functions on an arbitrary semitopological semigroupS, and show that these function spaces are admissibleC*- subalgebras ofC(S). We then characterize their spectra (semigroup compactifications) in terms of the universal mapping properties these compactifications enjoy. In our work, as it is in Junghenn's, the Ellis semigroup plays an important role. Also, relating the existence of left invariant means on these algebras to the existence of fixed points of certain affine flows, we prove the related fixed point theorem.

We show that Brouwer’s fixed point theorem with isolated fixed points is equivalent to Brouwer’s fan theorem.

The aim of this paper is to obtain a fixed point theorem for a sequence of mappings satisfying a Lipschitz type condition. As compared to the analogous results, some mappings of the present theorem need not satisfy any noncommutativity conditions and therefore our results generalize a number of well-known fixed point theorems in the existing literature.
