In mathematics, a coincidence point (or simply coincidence) of two mappings in their domain having the same image point under both mappings. Formally, given two mappings : we say that a point ''x'' in ''X'' is a ''coincidence point'' of ''f'' and ''g'' if ''f''(''x'') = ''g''(''x'').〔.〕 Coincidence theory (the study of coincidence points) is, in most settings, a generalization of fixed point theory, the study of points ''x'' with ''f''(''x'') = ''x''. Fixed point theory is the special case obtained from the above by letting ''X = Y'' and taking ''g'' to be the identity mapping. Just as fixed point theory has its fixed-point theorems, there are theorems that guarantee the existence of coincidence points for pairs of mappings. Notable among them, in the setting of manifolds, is the Lefschetz coincidence theorem, which is typically known only in its special case formulation for fixed points.〔.〕 Coincidence points, like fixed points, are today studied using many tools from mathematical analysis and topology. An equaliser is a generalization of the coincidence set.〔.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「coincidence point」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
