Fixed-point theorems are fundamental results in mathematics that establish conditions under which a function will have a point that maps to itself. In simpler terms, if you have a function \( f \) defined on a certain space, a fixed point \( x \) satisfies the equation \( f(x) = x \). Fixed-point theorems are widely applicable in various areas such as analysis, topology, and applied mathematics.
