Some fixed point theorems for discontinuous mappings [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper provides a fixed point theorem à la Schauder, where the mappings considered are possibly discontinuous. Our main result generalizes and unifies several well-known results.Schauder fixed point theorem, Brouwer fixed point theorem, discontinuity.

Stockpiling and Shortages

open access: yesInternational Economic Review, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 1693-1712, October 2025.
ABSTRACT We examine the feedback loop between shortages and consumer stockpiling. The expectation of shortages induces consumers to stockpile, which amplifies the shortages they experience, which further encourages stockpiling. We show that, when aggregate supply is insufficient to meet aggregate demand and prices cannot adjust to clear the market ...

Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem with Isolated Fixed Points and His Fan Theorem

open access: yesISRN Computational Mathematics, 2012
We show that Brouwer’s fixed point theorem with isolated fixed points is equivalent to Brouwer’s fan theorem.

Peer Effects in Binary Outcomes: Strategic Complementarity and Taste for Conformity With Endogenous Networks

open access: yesJournal of Applied Econometrics, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 608-626, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a generalized model of peer effects for binary outcomes, based on a network game that accounts for strategic complementarity (influence of the number of peers that select the same action) and conformity to social norms (penalizing deviations from the average peers' action).

Approximate Fixed Point Theorems [PDF]

open access: yes
Under some weakenings of the condition of the well-known fixed point theorems of Brouwer, Kakutani and Banach the existence of approximate fixed points turns out to be still guaranteed.

Constant Rank Bimatrix Games are PPAD-hard

open access: yes, 2014
The rank of a bimatrix game (A,B) is defined as rank(A+B). Computing a Nash equilibrium (NE) of a rank-$0$, i.e., zero-sum game is equivalent to linear programming (von Neumann'28, Dantzig'51). In 2005, Kannan and Theobald gave an FPTAS for constant rank

Contribution to a public good with altruistic preferences

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 1092-1122, August 2025.
Abstract This paper presents a model of private provision of a public good where individuals have altruistic preferences and care about the private and public good consumption of the other members of their group. I compare the Nash level of the public good to the benchmark level of provision by a social planner who aggregates the preferences of group ...

A note on matrices mapping a positive vector onto its element-wise inverse

open access: yes, 2017
For any primitive matrix $M\in\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ with positive diagonal entries, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive vector $\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\dots,x_n)^t$ such that $M\mathbf{x}=(\frac{1}{x_1},\dots,\frac{1}{x_n})^t$.

One‐Shot Method for Computing Generalized Winding Numbers

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 5, August 2025.
Abstract The generalized winding number is an essential part of the geometry processing toolkit, allowing to quantify how much a given point is inside a surface, even when the surface has boundaries and noise. We propose a new universal method to compute a generalized winding number, based only on the surface boundary and the intersections of a single ...

Global stability of a vaccination model with immigration

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2015
We study an SVIR model of disease transmission with immigration into all four classes. Vaccinated individuals may only receive partial immunity to the disease, giving a leaky vaccine.
