Articles with examples of Darboux functions without fixed points A function $f: I \to J$ ($I,J$ intervals) has the Darboux property or the Intermediate value property if for every $a < b \in I$ and for every $\lambda$ between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ there exists $c \in [a,b]$ such that $f(c)=\lambda$. Equivalently, the image of any interval under $f$ is an interval.
I know that there are functions $f: [0,1] \to [0,1]$ which have the Darboux property, but have no fixed points.

What are some articles which can be taken as references for this non-existence theorem? The only one I found was this, but I guess that there are older articles which deal with this subject. I searched Google and Mathscinet, but didn't find any except the one above (maybe I don't know how to search...).

 A: In Exercise 9.C of van Rooij - Schikhoff: A Second Course on Real Functions the following example is given.

Take any function $f \colon \mathbb R\to\mathbb R$ such that $f[I]=\mathbb R$ for every non-degenerate interval.  

(There are many examples of such functions, see here or here.  Several such examples are also given in the book I've mentioned.)

Define
  $$g(x):=
\begin{cases}
  f(x) & \text{if }f(x)\ne x, \\
  x+1 & \text{if }f(x)=x.
\end{cases}
$$
  Prove that $g$ is Darboux continuous.

This example is given there as an example of a function, which is Darboux continuous but does not have connected graph. But this function also has the property that $f(x)\ne x$ for every $x\in\mathbb R$.
But the authors of this book did not explicitly stated where this example is taken from.

I'll add my solution of this part of the exercise.
$g(x)$ is strongly Darboux. Let $I=(a,b)$ and $I_1=(a,(2a+b)/3)$, $I_2=((2a+b)/3,(a+2b)/3)$, $I_3=((a+2b)/3,b)$ be a division
of $I$ into three parts. We know that $f[I_1]=\mathbb R$, which implies $g[I_1]\supseteq \mathbb R\setminus I_1$.
(If $x\in I_1$ and  $f(x)\notin I_1$ then necessarily $f(x)=g(x)$.)
By the same argument $f[I_3]\supseteq \mathbb R\setminus I_3$. Hence $f[I] \supseteq f[I_1]\cup f[I_3] \supseteq (\mathbb R\setminus I_1)\cup(\mathbb R\setminus I_3)=\mathbb R$.

A rather similar example is given in 
Andrew Michael Bruckner and Jack Gary Ceder, Darboux continuity, Jahresbericht der Deutschen Mathematiker-Vereinigung 67 (1965), 93-117, eudml; as Example 4.1. (In this case, the function is defined on $(0,1)$.)

Given its publication date, I don't think you'll find much about fixed points of Darboux functions in this paper, but you should look over the paper anyway, plus it's an excellent survey that should be quite useful in general. However, and this is a useful search tip, you can use the paper to refine your search. Search google using the phrases "Darboux continuity" AND "Bruckner" AND "fixed point". The idea is that the hits you get will be those papers and other items that cite Bruckner/Ceder's paper, and thus you'll exclude the more superficially researched items.
