A degree theory for compact perturbations of proper C1 Fredholm mappings of index 0

We construct a degree for mappings of the form F+K between Banach spaces, where F is C1 Fredholm of index 0 and K is compact. This degree generalizes both the Leray-Schauder degree when F=I and the degree for C1 Fredholm mappings of index 0 when K=0. To exemplify the use of this degree, we prov...

description We construct a degree for mappings of the form F+K between Banach spaces, where F is C1 Fredholm of index 0 and K is compact. This degree generalizes both the Leray-Schauder degree when F=I and the degree for C1 Fredholm mappings of index 0 when K=0. To exemplify the use of this degree, we prove the “invariance-of-domain” property when F+K is one-to-one and a generalization of Rabinowitz's global bifurcation theorem for equations F(λ,x)+K(λ,x)=0.
