So when it modifies a noun uses a hyphen: fixed−point equation, fixed−point operator, fixed−point theory. But, on the other hand, take a fixed point of the operator, consider the fixed point in $X$. We have found our fixed point. When the phrasal adjective ends with -ly, drop the hyphen, the -ly is your separator. So perfectly separated set... Fixedpoint is ugly (never use it). | |
