https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-point%20theorem | In mathematics, a fixed-point theorem is a result saying that a function F will have at least one fixed point (a point x for which F(x) = x), under some conditions on F that can be stated in general terms.
In mathematical analysis
The Banach fixed-point theorem (1922) gives a general criterion guaranteeing that, if i... |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain-complete%20partial%20order | In mathematics, specifically order theory, a partially ordered set is chain-complete if every chain in it has a least upper bound. It is ω-complete when every increasing sequence of elements (a type of countable chain) has a least upper bound; the same notion can be extended to other cardinalities of chains.
