We introduce a notion of modulated topological vector spaces, that generalises, among others, Banach and modular function spaces. As applications, we prove some results which extend Kirk’s and Browder’s fixed point theorems. The theory of modulated topological vector spaces provides a very minimalist framework, where powerful fixed point theorems are valid under a bare minimum of assumptions.

We consider some discrete and continuous dynamics in a Banach spaceinvolving a non expansive operator J and a corresponding family ofstrictly contracting operators Φ (λ, x): = λJ( $\frac{1-\lambda}{\lambda}$ x) for λ ∈ ] 0,1] . Our motivationcomes from the study of two-player zero-sum repeated games, wherethe value of the n-stage game (resp. the value of theλ-discounted game) satisfies the relationv n = Φ( $\frac{1}{n}$ , $v_{n-1}$ ) (resp.  $v_\lambda$ = Φ(λ, $v_\lambda$ )) where J is the Shapleyoperator of the game. We study the evolution equationu'(t) = J(u(t))- u(t) as well as associated Eulerian schemes,establishing a new exponential formula and a Kobayashi-likeinequality for such trajectories. We prove that the solution of thenon-autonomous evolution equationu'(t) = Φ(λ(t), u(t))- u(t) has the same asymptoticbehavior (even when it diverges) as the sequence v n (resp. as thefamily $v_\lambda$ ) when λ(t) = 1/t (resp. whenλ(t) converges slowly enough to 0).

Every continuous mapping T = (T1,. . ., Tn): holomorphic in Bn has a fixed point.
