Surjectivity results for nonlinear mappings without oddness conditions

W. Feng, Jeffrey Ronald Leslie Webb (1997)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Surjectivity results of Fredholm alternative type are obtained for nonlinear operator equations of the form λ T ( x ) - S ( x ) = f , where T is invertible, and T , S satisfy various types of homogeneity conditions. We are able to answer some questions left open by Fuč’ık, Nečas, Souček, and Souček. We employ the concept of an a -stably-solvable operator, related to nonlinear spectral theory methodology. Applications are given to a nonlinear Sturm-Liouville problem and a three point boundary value problem recently studied...

The coincidence index for fundamentally contractible multivalued maps with nonconvex values

Dorota Gabor (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study a coincidence problem of the form A(x) ∈ ϕ (x), where A is a linear Fredholm operator with nonnegative index between Banach spaces and ϕ is a multivalued A-fundamentally contractible map (in particular, it is not necessarily compact). The main tool is a coincidence index, which becomes the well known Leray-Schauder fixed point index when A=id and ϕ is a compact singlevalued map. An application to boundary value problems for differential equations in Banach spaces is given.
