Fixed point sets of maps homotopic to a given map

Let f:X→X be a self-map of a compact, connected polyhedron and Φ⊆X a closed subset. We examine necessary and sufficient conditions for realizing Φ as the fixed point set of a map homotopic to f. For the case where Φ is a subpolyhedron, two necessary conditions were presented by S...
