Discrete fixed point analysis and its applications (Q2431387)

In this very interesting paper, fixed point theory in the discrete setting is analyzed. The approach uses both the notion of integrally convex sets of \textit{P. Favati} and \textit{F. Tardella} [``Convexity in nonlinear integer programming'', Ricerca Operativa 53, 3--44 (1990)] and arbitrary discrete sets as well as the concept of local gross direction preserving mapping [\textit{Z.-F. Yang}, Math. Oper. Res. 33, No.~4, 976--990 (2008; Zbl 1218.90198)]. Some existence and uniqueness results for the fixed point and the zero point are given. Some applications to economics are also derived.
