In mathematics, the mean value theorem (or Lagrange's mean value theorem) states, roughly, that for a given planar arc between two endpoints, there is...

In mathematics, the Poincaré–Miranda theorem is a generalization of intermediate value theorem, from a single function in a single dimension, to n functions...

unit interval is a fixed point space, as can be proved from the intermediate value theorem. The real line is not a fixed-point space, because the continuous...

covered by the line changes continuously from 0 to 1, so by the intermediate value theorem it must be equal to 1/2 somewhere along the way. It is possible...

Brouwer fixed-point theorem follows almost immediately from the intermediate value theorem. Another example of toy theorem is Rolle's theorem, which is obtained...

power of Robinson's approach, a short proof of the intermediate value theorem (Bolzano's theorem) using infinitesimals is done by the following. Let...

} The intermediate value theorem is an existence theorem, based on the real number property of completeness, and states: If the real-valued function...

which maps x to f(x) − x. It is ≥ 0 on a and ≤ 0 on b. By the intermediate value theorem, g has a zero in [a, b]; this zero is a fixed point. Brouwer is...
