Abstract:
We develop a nonlinear Fredholm alternative theory involving
k-ball and k-set perturbations of general homeomorphisms and
of homeomorphisms that are nonlinear Fredholm maps of index zero.
Various generalized first Fredholm theorems and finite
solvability of general (odd) Fredholm maps of index zero are also
studied. We apply these results to the unique and finite solvability
of potential and semilinear problems with strongly nonlinear boundary
conditions and to quasilinear elliptic equations. The basic tools
used are the Nussbaum degree and the degree theories for nonlinear
-Fredholm maps of index zero and their perturbations.
