The aim of this monograph is to give a unified account of the classical topics in fixed point theory that lie on the border-line of topology and non- linear functional analysis, emphasizing developments related to the Leray- Schauder theory. Using for the most part geometric methods, our study cen- ters around formulating those general principles of the theory that provide the foundation for many of the modern results in diverse areas of mathe- matics. The main text is self-contained for readers with a modest knowledge of topology and functional analysis; the necessary background material is...

As statisticians, we are constantly trying to make inferences about the underlying population from which data are observed. This includes estimation and prediction about the underlying population parameters from both complete and incomplete data. Recently, methodology for estimation and prediction from incomplete data has been found useful for what is known as "record-breaking data," that is, data generated from setting new records. There has long been a keen interest in observing all kinds of records-in particular, sports records, financial records, flood records, and daily temperature...
