Mar 31, 2011 at 14:28 comment added Denis Serre If I understand well, you don't ask whether $f$ and $g$ have a common fixed point. Yet, the answers given so far speak of fixed points ...

Oct 30, 2009 at 18:02 comment added Harald Hanche-Olsen Ah, indeed: Jachymski refers to an abstract in an old Notices. But searching MR reveals J.P. Huneke: On common fixed points of commuting continuous functions on an interval. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 139 1969 371--381. See jstor.org/stable/1995330 if you have JSTOR access. From the abstract: “This paper offers two methods of constructing commuting pairs of continuous functions [...] which map [0,1] to itself without common fixed points”. Jachymski also notes that if the iterates of one function forms an equicontinuous family, there is a common fixed point.
Oct 30, 2009 at 16:58 comment added Alon Amit Apparently f and g may not have a common fixed point even in the dimension 1 case. This is mentioned in the first paragraph of "Equivalent Conditions involving Common Fixed Points in the Unit Interval" by Jachymski. Unfortunately I can't follow the reference given. @fedja, what an amazing problem!
Oct 29, 2009 at 23:35 comment added Harald Hanche-Olsen Could more be true? Would f and g necessarily have a common fixed point? This might perhaps be easier to prove if true.
