Degree Theory for Discontinuous Operators

This unique book contains a generalization of the Leray-Schauder degree theory which applies for wide and meaningful types of discontinuous operators. The discontinuous degree theory introduced in the first section is subsequently used to prove new, applicable, discontinuous versions of many classical fixed-point theorems such as Schauder’s. Finally, readers will find in this book several applications of those discontinuous fixed-point theorems in the proofs of new existence results for disconti
