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 <a href="http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?verb=Display&version=1.0&service=UI&handle=euclid.rae/1184963801&page=record">this</a>, 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...).
