The Bolzano-Poincaré Type Theorems

In 1883–1884, Henri Poincaré announced the result about the structure of the set of zeros of function 𝑓∶𝐼𝑛→𝑅𝑛, or alternatively the existence of solutions of the equation 𝑓(𝑥)=0. In the case 𝑛=1 the Poincaré Theorem is well known Bolzano Theorem. In 1940 Miranda rediscovered the Poincaré Theorem. Ex...

Description
Summary:In 1883–1884, Henri Poincaré announced the result about the structure of the set of zeros of function 𝑓∶𝐼𝑛→𝑅𝑛, or alternatively the existence of solutions of the equation 𝑓(𝑥)=0. In the case 𝑛=1 the Poincaré Theorem is well known Bolzano Theorem. In 1940 Miranda rediscovered the Poincaré Theorem. Except for few isolated results it is essentially a non-algorithmic theory. The aim of this article is to introduce an algorithmical proof of the Theorem “On the existence of a chain” and for 𝑛=3 an algorithmical proof of the Bolzano-Poincaré Theorem and to show the equivalence of Poincaré, Brouwer and “On the existence of a chain” theorems.
