Support of a self-map #

Given a self-map f : X → X of a topological space X, the closure of the non-fixed points of f is often called the support of f. Since the word "support" is used to label various concepts throughout mathematics, we will use the term "fixed support" for the concept described above. This file contains basic definitions and API for the fixed support.

Set X

The fixed support of a self-map f : X → X is the closure of the set of non-fixed points, often called the support of f, but we use the term "fixed support" to disamiguate from other notions.

    A self-map f : X → X has compact fixed support if its fixed support is compact.

      A self-map f : X → X has compact fixed support if and only if f fixes the complement of a closed compact set. If X is preregular, then use compactSupport_iff instead.

      A self-map f : X → X of a preregular space X has compact fixed support if and only if f fixes the complement of a compact set.

      If f and g have compact fixed support, then so does their composition fg.
