A Hybrid Algorithm for the Computation of Fixed Points

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.22.5.606

Given a continuous mapping of a simplex to itself, an algorithm is shown that generates an infinite sequence of points converging to a fixed point of the mapping. Taking advantage of a generalization of Sperners lemma, the proposed method generalizes those of Scarf and Eaves in a manner such that both methods are given a unifying formulation.
