On the two-dimensional version of the Sperner Lemma and Brouwer's theorem



Abstract

In this work the Brouwer fixed point theorem for a triangle was proved by two methods based on the Sperner Lemma. One of the two proofs of Sperner’s Lemma given in the paper was carried out using the so-called index.
