COBZAS Received 22 March 2005 Revised 22 July 2005 Accepted 6 September 2005 In the appendix to the book by F. F. Bonsal Lectures on Some Fixed Point Theorems of Functional Analysis Tata Institute Bombay 1962 a proof by Singbal of the Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point theorem based on a locally convex variant of Schauder mapping method is included. The aim of this note is to show that this method can be adapted to yield a proof of Kakutani fixed point theorem in the locally convex case. For the sake of completeness we include also the proof of Schauder-Tychonoff theorem based on this method. As applications one proves a theorem of von Neumann and a minimax result in game theory.

Introduction Let Bn be the unit ball of the Euclidean space Rn. Brouwer s fixed point theorem asserts that any continuous mapping f Bn Bn has a fixed point that is there exists x e Bn such that f x x. The result holds for any nonempty convex bounded closed subset K of Rn or of any finite dimensional normed space see 8 Theorems and . Schauder 16 extended this result to the case when K is a convex compact subset of an arbitrary normed space X. Using some special functions called Schauder mappings the proof of Schauder s theorem can be reduced to Brouwer fixed point theorem see. . 8 page 197 or 12 page 180 . A further extension of this theorem was given by Tychonoff 18 who proved its validity when K is a compact convex subset of a Hausdorff locally convex space X. The proof given in the treatise of Dunford and Schwartz 4 is based on three lemmas and with some minor modifications the same proof appears in 5 and 9 . The extension of Schauder mapping method to locally convex
