Any function from a non-empty polytope into itself that is locally gross direction preserving is shown to have the fixed point property. Brouwer's fixed point theorem for continuous functions is a special case. We discuss the application of the result in the area of non-cooperative game theory.

1. FIXED POINT THEOREMS
Brouwer's famous fixed point theorem captivates by it's simplicity, depth, and applicability.
THEOREM l [Fixed point theorem, Brouwer, 1912]. With X C R ~ compact 1 and convex, f : X -~ X a continuous mapping there exists a fixed point off:
