Fixed Points Of Holomorphic Mappings For Domains In Banach Spaces, Lawrence A. Harris

Mathematics Faculty Publications

We discuss the Earle-Hamilton fixed-point theorem and show how it can be applied when restrictions are known on the numerical range of a holomorphic function. In particular, we extend the Earle-Hamilton theorem to holomorphic functions with numerical range having real part strictly less than 1. We also extend the Lumer-Phillips theorem estimating resolvents to dissipative holomorphic functions.
