Dimension of the set of positive solutions to nonlinear equations and applications

Petronije S. Milojevic

Abstract:
We study the covering dimension of the set of (positive) solutions to various classes of nonlinear equations involving condensing and A-proper maps. It is based on the nontriviality of the fixed point index of a certain condensing map or on oddness of a nonlinear map. Applications to nonlinear singular integral equations and to semilinear ordinary and elliptic partial differential equations are given with finite or infinite dimensional null space of the linear part.
