The square root function has a unique positive fixed point. This function has the following properties: it is strictly increasing and strictly concave, with f(0)=0, and there are points a>0 and b>0 such that f(b)>a and b>f(b). It is shown that any function from Rn to Rn satisfying these properties has a unique positive fixed point. (Copyright: Elsevier)
