Nonlinear partial differential equations
This text examines degree theory and some of its applications in analysis. Topics described include: degree theory for continuous functions; the multiplication theorem; Hopf's theorem; Brower's fixed point theorem; odd mappings; and Jordan's separation theorem.
This book is a self-contained account of knowledge of the theory of nonlinear superposition operators: a generalization of the notion of functions. The theory developed here is applicable to operators in a wide variety of function spaces, and it is here that the modern theory di…
