Theorems of Leray-Schauder Type And Applications

This volume presents a systematic and unified treatment of Leray-Schauder continuation theorems in nonlinear analysis. In particular fixed point theory is established for many classes of maps such as contractive non-expansive accretive and compact maps to name but a few. This book also presents coincidence and multiplicity results. Many applications of current interest in the theory of nonlinear differential equations are presented to complement the theory. The text is essentially self-contained so it may also be used as an introduction to topological methods in nonlinear analysis. This volume will appeal to graduate students and researchers in mathematical analysis and its applications.
