Lipschitz functions and approximate resolutions (Q1612263)

The authors apply the theory of approximate systems and of approximate resolutions to study Lipschitz functions and the existence of a fixed point. Given a topological Hausdorff space, they define a metric induced by a normal sequence and characterize Lipschitz maps with respect to such a metric in terms of normal sequences. Using these metrics, they define metrics induced by approximate resolutions and characterize Lipschitz functions between continua with such metrics. As an application they formulate a sufficient condition in terms of approximate resolutions which implies that the map between two continua has a unique fixed point.
