Let X be a topological space, a finite covering of X (the words ‘covering’ and ‘cover’ are used interchangeably). We say that has the almost fixed point property for a class of continuous maps f : X → X if for all there is an xX and such that x ∈ U and f(x) ∈ U, or, equivalently, if there is a such that .
