Hi, today we're tackling an exercise from the MP exam at Mines-Ponts, which states that if two continuous functions f and g commute from [0,1] to [0,1], then there exists a point c such that f(c) = g(c). To do this, we must first show that f has a fixed point and then study the sequence f^n(a) as f is at every point above g.
