On the range of the derivative of a smooth function and applications.

Robert Deville (2006)

RACSAM

We survey recent results on the structure of the range of the derivative of a smooth real valued function f defined on a real Banach space X and of a smooth mapping F between two real Banach spaces X and Y. We recall some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions on a subset A of L(X,Y) for the existence of a Fréchet-differentiable mapping F from X into Y so that F'(X) = A. Whenever F is only assumed Gâteaux-differentiable, new phenomena appear: we discuss the existence of a mapping F...

On topological degree and Poincaré duality

Franco Cardin (1995)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In this Note we investigate about some relations between Poincaré dual and other topological objects, such as intersection index, topological degree, and Maslov index of Lagrangian submanifolds. A simple proof of the Poincaré-Hopf theorem is recalled. The Lagrangian submanifolds are the geometrical, multi-valued, solutions of physical problems of evolution governed by Hamilton-Jacobi equations: the computation of the algebraic number of the branches is showed to be performed by using Poincaré dual....

Periodic segments and Nielsen numbers

Klaudiusz Wójcik (1999)

Banach Center Publications

We prove that the Poincaré map φ ( 0 , T ) has at least N ( h ˜ , c l ( W 0 W 0 - ) ) fixed points (whose trajectories are contained inside the segment W) where the homeomorphism h ˜ is given by the segment W.
