Fixed Point Theorems

Edited by Ben Pace last updated 17th Jul 2020

Fixed Point Theorems are very general theorems in mathematics that show for a given function f and input x that f(x)=x. We say that the input x is a fixed point for the function f.

These come up most commonly on LessWrong in work around Embedded Agency research, as well as in discussion of game theory.
