In mathematics, a Hausdorff space ''X'' is called a fixed-point space if every continuous function has a fixed point. For example, any closed interval () in is a fixed point space, and it can be proved from the intermediate value property of real continuous function. The open interval (''a'', ''b''), however, is not a fixed point space. To see it, consider the function , for example. Any linearly ordered space that is connected and has a top and a bottom element is a fixed point space. Note that, in the definition, we could easily have disposed of the condition that the space is Hausdorff. ==References== * Vasile I. Istratescu, ''Fixed Point Theory, An Introduction'', D.
