Global Wilson–Fisher fixed points
The Wilson–Fisher fixed point with O(N) universality in three dimensions is studied using the renormalisation group. It is shown how a combination of analytical and numerical techniques determine global fixed points to leading order in the derivative ...

AbstractWe consider fixed point logics, i.e., extensions of first order predicate logic with operators defining fixed points. A number of such operators, generalizing inductive definitions, have been studied in the context of finite model theory, including nondeterministic and alternating operators. We review results established in finite model theory,

Related G-metrics and Fixed Points
For a single valued mapping T in a G-complete G-metric space (X, d), we show that if Tn,for some n> 1, is a contraction, then T itself is a contraction under another related G-metric d′. We establish moreover that if T is uniformly continuous, then d′ is

Fixed points of automorphisms [PDF]
We prove that the fixed point set of a compact Lie group of automorphisms of a Lie group has finitely many components if the Lie group does.

Fixed Points of Isometries [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to prove the followingTheorem. Let M be a Riemannian manifold of dimension n and let ξ be a Killing vector field (i.e., infinitesimal isometry) of M. Let F be the set of points x of M where ξ vanishes and let F = ∪ Vi, where the Vi’s are the connected components of F. Then (assuming F to be non-empty)

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Fixed points and boundaries [PDF]
A lemma of Ludvik Janos is used to show that if a nonexpansive self-map T T of a compact set X X is contractive on Δ ′ X \Delta ’X , the boundary of X X in co ¯ X ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Unique fixed points vs. least fixed points
AbstractThe aim of this paper is to compare two approaches to the semantics of programming languages: the least fixed point approach, and the unique fixed point approach. Briefly speaking, we investigate here the problem of existence of extensions of algebras with the unique fixed point property to ordered algebras with the least fixed point property ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
