Operator
1.3.1. Formulation of the Problem. In the theory of fixed points, important roles are played by the mutually close concepts of degree of a mapping, the rotation of a vector field, index of fixed points of an operator. Here we shall use the terminology connected with the last of these concepts, while in cases where this cannot cause misunderstanding, we shall simply nindex of an operator," instead of "index of fixed points of an operator."
Let E be a Banach space, R be a convex closed subset of E, V be a subset of R, open in the indueed topology of the space R. W e shall denote by V and ~z the closure and the boundary of this set in R. Let the o p e r a t o r f : V ~ R be X - c o n d e n s i n g and the s e t FIX (fl V) of fixed points of its r e s t r i c t i o n to V be c o m p a c t . A s u f f i c i e n t (but not n e c e s s a r y ) condition f o r this is the a b s e n c e of fixed points for the o p e r a t o r f on the b o u n d a r y V of the s e t V. In the r e s t of this s e c t i o n , i n s t e a d of " • we s h a l l w r i t e s i m p l y " c o n d e n s i n g . " F o r s u c h an o p e r a t o r we define an i n t e g e r ind R (f, V), c a l l e d the index of fixed points (for s h o r t , index) of the o p e r a t o r f on V with r e s p e c t to R. Since R in what follows will not c h a n g e , one can use the s i m p l e r notation ind (f, V). The index of a c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r will have the following p r o p e r t i e s . 1 ~ The indices of h o m o t o p i c c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r s coincide.

U n d e r the a s s u m p t i o n that the quantity d e s c r i b e d , ind R (f, V), e x i s t s , we can define an analogous c h a r a c t e r i s t i c u n d e r s o m e w h a t m o r e g e n e r a l conditions: it s u f f i c e s to a s s u m e that f is defined and X-condensing not on ~ , but only on V. In fact, one can, by definition, s e t ind R (f, V) = indR (f, W), w h e r e the r e l a t i v e l y open s e t W is s u c h that F i x ( / ) ~ W , ~ / c V . The i n d e p e n d e n c e f r o m W follows f r o m 2 ~ p r o p e r t i e s 1~ ~ a r e o b v i o u s l y p r e s e r v e d , w h e r e in 1 ~ it s u f f i c e s to a s s u m e that f0, fl, and f a r e defined on V. The definition of the index of a c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r is b a s e d on the following c l a s s i c a l r e s u l t f r o m the t h e o r y of c o m p l e t e l y continuous o p e r a t o r s . 1.3.2.

This theorem, based on the Brouwer theory of various versions was proved by Leray and Schauder, proof can, for example, be obtained, using Theorems sel'skii and Zabreiko [74]: it suffices to set ind (f, U) tor field I-f on the boundary of a bounded domain W, An important role in the following constructions sel'skii, Zabreiko, and Strygin [50]. 1.3.3.

2) f (M NS)ZS; 3) if

The last requirement says that upon applying the operator f, points of the set M "are not repulsed;' from S: if X o ~ M \ S , then f(x 0) does not lie in the shaded cone (el. Fig. 1). We note at once that a fundamental set S contains all fixed points of the operator. The concept of fundamental set will also be used in the obvious sense in relation to families of operators. 1.3.4. THEOREM. Let f~{f~:kEA} be a condensing family of operators (:M~E-~E) and K be a compact subset of E. Let A be a compact topological space and the map (h, x) ~ fh(x) be continuous. Then flM has a fundamental set containing K. Proof. We denote by ~ the collection of closed sets containing K and satisfying all the requirements fro from the definition of a fundamental set of the family f]M, except possibly for compactness. ~ is nonempty, since, e.g., the set T0=co [K Uf(M)] satisfies the conditions cited (without loss of generality one can assume that K~ 0, so that TO;~ Calso). We note, further, that if TE~l, then the set T,-=co[t(Uf(MNT)] also belongs to ~. In the verification one needs only r e q u i r e m e n t s 2) and 3) f r o m the definition of a fundamental set.

If x 0 e T, then the a s s e r t i o n follows f r o m the c o r r e s p o n d i n g property of T and the inclusion Now if x 0 E T, then f(x 0) ~ T~ and the a s s e r t i o n is obvious. Now we define the set S = belongs to ~'l and coincides with S. ease when MNS f r o m the equation

N T and we shall show that it is fundamental for flM. It is easy to see that S r~-~
is in ~ a minimal set. Hence, by virtue of what was said above, the set S ~ = c b [K U f ( M N S ) ] But then ~ (M N S)~< X(S) = ~ [ f (M ~1S)], which for a condensing family f is possible only in the is compact. Since A is also compact and the map (X, x) ~ fx(x) is continuous, f r o m this and S = ~ [K U f (M N S)I follows the c o m p a c t n e s s of S. The t h e o r e m is proved.
In determining the index of a condensing o p e r a t o r we aIso use the following theorem of Dugundji [28, 188] on extensions of a continuous o p e r a t o r . 1.3.5. THEOREM. A continuous o p e r a t o r , defined on a nonempty closed subset of a metric space, and a s s u m i n g values in a locally convex space, can be extended continuously to the whole space while p r e s e r v i n g the convex hull of the set of values. 1.3.6. Definition of the Index of a Condensing Operator. We consider the situation described in 1o3.1. Let S be a fundamental set of the operator f l y , which exists by T h e o r e m 1.3.4, U be an open set in E such that U N R = V . Using Dugundji's t h e o r e m , we extend the o p e r a t o r f f r o m the closed subset UNS of the space U to all of U, with values in S. If UNS is empty, then the existence of such an extension is obvious. The o p e r a t o r f obtained acts f r o m U to S, and consequently, is completely continuous, while Fix (f) = Fix ( f I v)_c4.S- We set tnd (f, V) = Ind (f, U); the right side is defined here by virtue of T h e o r e m 1.3.2; on the left we use the notation ind (f, V) instead of the m o r e complete ind R (f, V).

Our i m m e d i a t e p r o b l e m is to show that the index is independent of the c h o i c e s of U, S, and f. 1.3.7. W e l l - D e f i n e d n e s s of the Index. Let U1, $I, {1 and U2, $2, {2 s a t i s f y all the r e q u i r e m e n t s f o r m u l a t e d in the definition of the index. We shall show that ind (71, U , ) = i n d (f~, U2).

Without loss of g e n e r a l i t y one can a s s u m e that S~cS2, s i n c e one can c o n s t r u c t a fundamental set $3, c o n taining the c o m p a c t u m K=S1 uS2, and c o r r e s p o n d i n g U3, f3, and e s t a b l i s h that both s i d e s of (1) a r e equal to ind (fa, U3). F u r t h e r , we s e t U = U I NU2. Obviously, ind (fl, U1) = ind (fl, U) and ind (f2, U2) = ind (f2, U), as follows f r o m p r o p e r t y 2 ~ of the index. Hence to prove (1) it s u f f i c e s to e s t a b l i s h the equation ind (fl, U ) = i n d (f2, U).

The values of the o p e r a t o r s ft lie in S2, so that the f a m i l y F = { f t : t E [0, 1]} is c o m p l e t e l y continuous. We shall show that Fix (F) = Fix (flv); w h e n c e will follow the c o m p a c t n e s s of this set. I f x 0 E Fix (F), i.e., x 0 = (1 to)f-1(x o) + tof2 (Xo), then x 0 E S 2. Then f2 (Xo) = f(x0) and x0~co [{f (x0)} U $11, w h e n c e it follows that x 0 E $1, so that fl(xo) = f(xo). F i n a l l y , we get t h a t x 0 = f(xo), i . e . , x 0 ~ Fix (flv). Thus, Fix (F) ZFix (f Iy); the opposite inclusion is obvious. That the index is w e l l - d e f i n e d is proved. 1.3.8. R e m a r k . As a l r e a d y noted, along with the t e r m i n o l o g y "index of fixed points of an o p e r a t o r " one often u s e s t e r m i n o l o g y c o n n e c t e d with the c o n c e p t of r o t a t i o n of a v e c t o r field. If f is a c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r , then the v e c t o r field I - f is called a c o n d e n s i n g v e c t o r field (I is the identity o p e r a t o r ) . By the r o t a t i o n of the v e c t o r field I - f on the s e t V r e l a t i v e to R in the c a s e when the o p e r a t o r f has no fixed points on V, is m e a n t the quantity 7 R ( I - f , V), defined by the equation Y~ (I - - f , V) = ind~ (f, V). 1.3.9. T h e o r e m on P r o p e r t i e s of the Index. The index of a c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r , defined above, has p r o p e r t i e s 1~ ~ of P a r a g r a p h 1.3.1. All t h e s e p r o p e r t i e s follow e a s i l y f r o m the c o r r e s p o n d i n g p r o p e r t i e s of the index of a c o m p l e t e l y c o n tinuous o p e r a t o r . As an e x a m p l e we s h a l l prove the f i r s t of them.

By T h e o r e m 1.3.4 the f a m i l y fl V has g e n e r a l f u n d a m e n t a l s e t S. In addition, by v i r t u e of the d e f i n i tion of h o m o t o p y , the s e t Fix (fl V) is c o m p a c t . L e t U be an open s u b s e t of E s u c h that U f l R = V . We extend the o p e r a t o r s f~ of the f a m i l y f f r o m the s e t UAS to all of U, p r e s e r v i n g the convex hull of the d o m a i n of v a l ues of the family and the c o n t i n u i ~ of the m a p p i n g (;~, x) ~ f~(x). Then we g e t a c o m p l e t e l y continuous h o m o t o p y = { f~ : ~ E [0, 1]}, for w h i c h Fix (f) = Fix (fl V) is c o m p a c t . Hence ind (re, V ) = ind (f0, U ) = ind (fl, U ) = i n d (f~, V). 1.3.10. Fixed Point T h e o r e m . The t h e o r y of the index of c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r s allows one to prove v a r i ous t e s t s f o r the e x i s t e n c e of fixed points. As an e x a m p l e we shall prove h e r e the g e n e r a l i z e d S c h a u d e r p r i n ciple. THEOREM.

Then ind T (f, T) = 1, i.e., f has in T at l e a s t one fixed point. P r o o f . We set R -- V = T.

We shall show that the s e t of fixed points P = Fix (F) of the f a m i l y F = { F t : t E [0, 1]} is c o m p a c t . F i r s t l y , it is obviously c l o s e d . Secondly, P c c o i f ( P ) U {x0}], so ~ (P) _< • w h e n c e , by v i r t u e of the definition of c o n d e n s i n g o p e r a t o r , we get that P = ~ is c o m pact. T h u s , the quantity ind (Ft, T) is defined and independent of t. In p a r t i c u l a r , ind (f, T) = ind (F0, T) ~ ind (F1, T) = 1. Now using p r o p e r t y 5 ~ of the index, we get that f has a fixed point in T. The t h e o r e m is p r o v e d . 1.3.11. T h e o r e m on L o c a l C o n s t a n c y of the Index.

Operators
In this section we study questions connected with the concept of Fredholm operator. It turns out that in studying the question of whether a bounded linear operator is Fredholm, measures of noneompactness play approximately the same role as the norm in considering the question of invertibility of an operator. We recall that a bounded linear operator A, acting from a Banach space E I into a Banach space E2, is called Fredholm, if: i) its kernel Ker (A) is finite-dimensional; 2) its image Im (A) has in E 2 finite codimension: dim (E 2/Ira (A)) < ~o. The image of a Fredholm operator is closed [96]. We
shall prove a test for Fredholmness

Since eodimlm(A) is finite and Im (A) is closed, there exists a finite-dimensionalsubspace E2 such that E2 = E2 + I m (A). Then y = y' + y", where y~ E BE~ = KE2, and y"E BIm(A). We s e t x = (A')-ly'', X = x + KEI, ThenA+X = y " + KE2 = y + KE2 = y . Thus, Im(A +) =E~. b) Now let is be known that Ker (A+) = { 0} and Im (A+) = E~. It is required to prove that the operator A i s is Fredholm. If Ker (A) is infinite-dimensional,then in it there exists a bounded but not completely bounded sequence x. Then X = x + KE1 is a nonzero element of Ker (A+), which contradicts the hypothesis. Before proving that the codimension of the linear manifold Im (A) in E2 is finite, we shall show that it s is closed. Let Yn = Axn converge to Yo as n ~ ~ and x n { El. The sequence {Xn} is bounded.

We shall be interested in the question of the existence, uniqueness, and stability of a T-periodic solution of (I) for small positive e. 1.5.2. Translation Operator. In studying periodic solutions it is convenient to use the translation operator along trajectories of the differential equation, which can be defined by solving a Cauchy problem. It is easy to see, however, that the Cauchy problem for (1), corresponding to the initial condition
x(t)=rp(t)(--h~

1.5.3. Auxiliary Inequality. The right side of (7) can be considered as an operator Ge, acting from C1[a h, b] to C[a, b] for any a and b, satisfying the condition 0 _< a < b [we note that for a _> h the second summand is actually absent, since u(t) - O]. We shall assume that the norm in C1[a - h, b] is defined by the formula llXllcl = Ix(a) l + llx' IIC, so as is easily verified, the Hausdorff noncompactness measure ){I(A) of any set A~C l [a--h, b] will coincide with the noncompactness measure ~ (A') of the set A' of derivatives of functions from A in C[a - h,

The following books and survey papers are partially or completely devoted to the theory of condensing operators and its applications: [6, 23, 24, 31, 32, 74, 111, 116, 121, 151, 152, 174, 199, 219, 227, 238, 243, 261, 282, 357, 386, 411, 426]. 2.1.
Measures
of
Noncompaetness
2.1.1. Various Measures of Noncompactness. Analogs of the Kuratowski and Hausdorff measures of noncompactness in a uniform space E can be found in [Iii, 116]; these measures assume values in the set of nonnegative functions, defined on some family of continuous pseudometrics on E • E. We note here too that Theorem 1.1.2 is proved in [280]. The following set function is a measure of noncompactness on the metric space (M, M: I(A) = inf{ e > 0: any subset of the set A, the distance between any two points of which is less than e, is finite} (A~_M). For details and also the investigation of some properties of the measure I, cf. [36, 174,175,260]. The set function defined by the following formula will also be a measure of noncompactness of the Banaeh space E: ~0(A) = inf{e > 0: there exists a weakly compact subset C of the space E, such that A~_C+eB} (Bisthe unit ball in E, A~E). This measure of noncompactness has the following interesting property (ef. [178,184]): on the unit ball of the space E it is equal to zero, if E is reflexive; otherwise it is equal to one. Moreover, a decreasing (with respect to inclusion) sequence of weakly closed subsets of the space E, whose measure of noncompactness w tend to zero, has a nonempty intersection (cf. [184]). A series of other concrete

Condensing
Operators
2.2.1. Modifications and Generalizations of the Concept of Condensing Operator. In this section we shall describe certain classes of operators, close in their properties to condensing operators. In part such properties will be indicated directly below; some other properties will be considered in the following paragraphs.
565
An operator f: E ~ E (E is a Banach space) is called compatible with the distinguishing map ~ (cf. Paragraph 2.1.4), if, firstly, from A@II and ~(A) = 0 it follows that ~[f(A)] = 0, and secondly, if ~(A) a 0, then ~[f(A)] _ ~(A) for all A @ 2 E. It turns out (cf. [26, 27]), for an operator compatible with a distinguishing map, there is, roughly speaking, an invariant set A such that q~(A) = 0. The presence of an invariant compact set for a condensing operator relative to a monotone measure of noncompactness (and also for a condensing operator relative to an arbitrary measure of noncompaetness, such that the operator carries a convex closed set into itself) is proved in [111,116]. This property (i.e., the existence of an invariant compaetum) plays a very important role in a series of situations. Let M be an arbitrary subset of a Banach (or locally convex) space E, and f : M -- E. We construct a transfinite sequence of sets { T~ } in the following way: (C-Of (M), if
a = O, if ~-- 1 exists, a - - 1 does not exist.
r . = ~ / (M N T~, ), | ~ Tfh
if
The sequence { Ta }, as is easy to see, always "stabilizes": starting with some ordinal number 5 one has T~ = T5 for all c~ >_ 5. The set f~~ = T5 is called the limit domain of values of the operator f on M. The operator f is called (el. [111], 116]) limit compact, if its restriction to F~ is a compact operator, i.e., if the set f ( M n f ? (24)) is relatively compact. As already remarked, a condensing operator relative to a monotone measure of noncompactness is limit compact. One of the tests for limit compactness of an operator, defined on a subset M of a quasicomplete locally convex space E, is this (cf. [102]): the operator f is limit compact if and only if from the inequality c--of (24,q A) = A (ACE) follows the compactness of A We consider another class, more accurately countable set of classes of operators, close to condensing. Let ~ be s o m e set of subsets of the space E. The o p e r a t o r f : M ~ E is called a ~ - o p e r a t o r if for any T@~ and any A ~ E , f r o m the inequality c--oiT n f (A ~ 24)]= A follows the c o m p a c t n e s s of the set A. In the case when ~ = { ~ } and E is quasicomplete, the class of ~ - o p e r a t o r s , by virtue of what was said above, coincides with the c l a s s of limit c o m p a c t o p e r a t o r s . We denote by Kn the set of all subsets of the space E, containing exactly n elements, by K~ the set of all finite, and by K the set of all c o m p a c t subsets of the space E. By : ~ (respectively, d ~ and ~), we denote the set of all K n - o p e r a t o r s (respectively, K~o- and K - o p e r a t o r s ) . It is obvious that
It is known (el. [105]), that all the inclusions, with the possible exception of the last, are strict. It turns out that any K - o p e r a t o r (respectively, K ~ - o p e r a t o r , K0-operator) is condensing relative to a semiadditive nonc o m p a c t n e s s m e a s u r e which is invartant with r e s p e c t to addition of a compact (respectively, a semiadditive invariant with r e s p e c t to the addition of a finite set, semiadditive) m e a s u r e of noncompactness (cf. [103, 105]). We d e s c r i b e a n o n c o m p a c t n e s s m e a s u r e with r e s p e c t to which an a r b i t r a r y K - o p e r a t o r f : M - (E is a locally convex space) is condensing. We define in 2 E an equivalence relation R in the following way: (A~, A2) 6 R if one can find compact sets T 1 and T 2 such that A2c_co(TIUA1) and A,_cc--o(T2U A2). We denote by [A] the equivalence class (with r e s p e c t to R) containing A ~ 2 E, and by ~t the set of all equiv! 1 alence c l a s s e s , partially o r d e r e d in the following way: [A1] _< [A2] if one can find A s ~ [A1] and A 2 E [A2] such that A j c A '2 . We define a noncompactness m e a s u r e r on 2E by $(A) = [A]. The noncompactness m e a s u r e ,J~ is semiadditive (and consequently also monotone) and invariant with r e s p e c t to adding a c o m p a c t set, and the o p e r a t o r f is ~-condensing. More detailed information on the c i r c l e of questions discussed can be found in [102, 103,105]. To conclude this p a r a g r a p h we d e s c r i b e another v e r y broad class of o p e r a t o r s , a s s o c i a t e d in t e r m s of their p r o p e r t i e s with condensing o p e r a t o r s , the class of c o m p a c t l y c a r r i e d o p e r a t o r s . A bounded nonempty closed convex set R ~ E (E is a Banach space) is called a c a r r i e r for the o p e r a t o r [:M-+E (M~_E) with r e s p e c t to the set M, if R contains at least one set which is fundamental for f with r e s p e c t to M (this fundamental set can be empty if f has no fixed points in M), if [(MNR)~_R and if f is completely continuous on MflR. The o p e r ator f is called (cf. [74]) compactly c a r r i e d if it has at least one c a r r i e r . The definition given in P a r a g r a p h 1.2.1 of condensing o p e r a t o r were considered in one or another degree of generality in [33, 40, 41, 110, 1 1 1 , 1 1 6 , 177,214] and in a whole s e r i e s of later papers. Various modifications and generalizations of the concept of condensing operator can be found in [23, 27, 56, 78, 106, iii, 116,

To the tests for a condensing operator, apparently, one should also refer the following assertion (cf, [418] and a close result in [55]): let f:E --E (E is a Banach space) and AcE. Then ~[f(A)] _< k if and only if for any e > 0 there exists a finite-dimensional operator S e : A -- E such that !If(x) - Se ~x)]i -< k + e for all x ~ A. We give another test for a condensing operator [284,285]. Let ~-(f) = inf{q > 0: f is (q, a)-bounded}. The operator f is called topologically strictly a-condensing if in E one can find a norm II9 ]II, equivalent with the original norm in E, such that Tl(f) < 1 [here Tt(f) is the number T(f), calculated not in the space (E, I]. lJ), but in the space (E, I] 9 One has the following fact: in order that the operator f be topologically strictly a-con] densing, it is necessary, and in the case of a linear f also sufficient, that one have lim[v(f~)]~-< I. n--~oo

1.3.1 some properties of the rotation of condensing more important properties of the rotation.

The first of the properties described relates to the question of the homotopy classification of condensing vector fields. Suppose there is given on a set U of the Banach space E a homotopy f: U • [0, I] ~ E, which is condensing in the collection of variables, all of whose fixed points are contained in some compact set K. Then (cf. [124]) there exists a condensing homotopy F : U • [0, I] • [0, I] ~ E such that: i) all fixed points of the map F(., t, s) for all t, s E [0, i] are contained in the same set K; 2) F(x, t, s) = f(x, t) for all (x, t, s) E U •
[0, 1] X {0} UKX [0, 1]X[0, 1]; 3) the map F ( . , . ,
1) is c o m p l e t e l y continuous.
F r o m this p r o p e r t y of homotopies follows the following a s s e r t i o n : if the condensing o p e r a t o r f : VR ~ R (VR is the r e l a t i v e c l o s u r e of V • R in R) has no fixed points on VR, then t h e r e exists a homotopy F : VR x [0, 1] ~ R , condensing in the collection of v a r i a b l e s , joining the map f with a c o m p l e t e l y continuous map, and such that F{x, t) r x for x ~ VR; i.e., in the c l a s s of fields, homotopic to a condensing v e c t o r field I - f , there e x i s t s a c o m p l e t e l y continuous v e c t o r field. Whence and f r o m Hopf's t h e o r e m for c o m p l e t e l y continuous v e c t o r fields, it is e a s y to deduce the following r e s u l t : Let fl and f2 be condensing m a p s , acting f r o m V into E, where V is the c l o s u r e of the J o r d a n domain V in E (being J o r d a n m e a n s that E \ l ? is connected); let fl and f2 not have fixed points on V and 7 ( I - f i , V) = 7 ( I - f 2, V), then the fields I - f i and I - f 2 a r e homotopic. With the help of the construction d e s c r i b e d above one can c a r r y over to condensing v e c t o r fields other homotopy invariants of c o m p l e t e l y continuous v e c t o r fields. F o r details, cf. [124], and also [63]. As an example of this p r o c e s s , we give the following a s s e r t i o n (cf., e.g., [74]): The rotation 7 R ( I - f , V) of the condensing v e c t o r field I - f on V r e l a t i v e to R depends only on the behavior of the o p e r a t o r f on VR. We r e c a l l (cf. P a r a g r a p h 1.2.2) that if fl and f2 a r e condensing o p e r a t o r s , then the homotopy F(x, t) = t)fl(x) + tf2 (x) is condensing in the collection of v a r i a b l e s . This p r o p e r t y allows one in the m a j o r i t y of c a s e s to c a r r y o v e r to the c a s e of condensing vector fields a s s e r t i o n s for c o m p l e t e l y continuous vector fields in whose proof one u s e s only linear homotopies. (1 -
We d e s c r i b e s o m e m o r e p r o p e r t i e s of condensing v e c t o r fields, analogous to p r o p e r t i e s of completely continuous v e c t o r fields. Let U1 and U2 be open bounded subsets of the Banach s p a c e E. Let f : Ui ~ E and g : ~2 ~ E be condensing maps such that g ( I - f ) + f is condensing and (I--f)U~ ~U2 Finally, let {V~:~A} be the s e t of connected components of the s e t U2\(I--f)(~O. We denote by 7 ( I - f , U1, k) the rotation on Ui of the v e c t o r field I - f - z , where z is an a r b i t r a r y point f r o m VX. Then
y((I--g)(I-- f), U~)= ~ ?(I--g, Vr)7(I-- f , U1, ~,). This a s s e r t i o n , and also others close to it, can be found in [300,407]. Now we c o n s i d e r a linear v e c t o r field I - A , where A is condensing with constant k < 1. Then the index of z e r o as a fixed point of the o p e r a t o r A is equal to (--1)/~, w h e r e fl is the s u m of the multiplicities of the r e a l eigenvalues of the o p e r a t o r A which a r e l a r g e r than one. T h e o r e m s on the rotation of a linear condensing v e c tor field of the type given above can be found in [ 1 7 4 , 3 9 1 , 3 9 5 ] . The following a s s e r t i o n connects the rotation of the fields I - f and I - f p, where p is a p r i m e . Let f be a condensing o p e r a t o r with constant k < 1, defined on the c l o s u r e of the domain U, and Fix (fP) be the set of fixed 568
points of the o p e r a t o r i p, lying in U. Let fP have no fixed points on I~ and f(Fix(ff))cU. Then (cf~ [50,388]) ( [ - - f , U) ~ ? ( I - - fP, U) (rood p). To conclude this p a r a g r a p h we give a t h e o r e m on the finite-dimensional approximation of a X-condensing v e c t o r field (cf. [116,310]). Let the 1-condensing o p e r a t o r f : ~R - - R have no fixed points on VR. Let us a s sume that in E t h e r e are sequences of finite-dimensional subspaces {En: n = 1, 2, . . .} and o p e r a t o r s Pn: E ~ En (n = i, 2, . . . ), satisfying the following conditions: a) Pn satisfy Lipschitz conditions with constant one; b) lira Pnx = Jr for any x E E ; c) Pnf(X) ~ R for any natural number n and any x e ~r Then for sufficiently n--eve
large n,
~ (I - - P J , V)=yR (l--f, V). We also note here that the formula given can s e r v e as the definition of the d e g r e e of the map f. This a p p r o a c h in the g e n e r a l situation was studied in detail in [30-34, 1 6 5 , 2 0 0 , 2 0 1 , 3 1 8 , 3 9 1 , 4 1 1 , 4 2 1 , 4 2 2 ] and other papers. The theory of the index of fixed points of condensing maps, acting on Banach manifolds, is c o n s t r u c t e d in [38, 39, 150]. The following p a r a g r a p h s of the p r e s e n t section a r e devoted to the d e s c r i p t i o n of the construction of the theory of rotation for various c l a s s e s of o p e r a t o r s , connected in one way or another with condensing ones. 2.3.2. Compactly C a r r i e d Mappings. Let f : U -- E be a map, compactly c a r r i e d on U (cf. P a r a g r a p h 2.2.1), and R be some c a r r i e r of f relative to U. We set ] ~ f I g N , ~. The o p e r a t o r f, by virtue of Dugundji's t h e o r e m , can be extended to a completely continuous o p e r a t o r f defined on ~ , where if f has no fixed points on U, then f also has no fixed points on U. The rotation of the compactly c a r r i e d v e c t o r field I - f is defined by the f o r m u l a
y ( l - - f , U)=y(I--], d). This turns out to be well-defined (i.e., independent of the choice of carrier R and extension f). :['he rotation constructed has properties 1~ ~ from Paragraph 1.3.1. We dwell now on the homotopy property. Those homotopies I-f?,(k E [0, I]), for which the operators f?~ have no fixed points on U and there exist 0 = k 0 < ki < 9 . 9 < Xk+ I = 1 such that the operators f~ for k E [ki, Xi+l] (i = 0, i, .... k) have common carrier, willbe admissible homotopies in the present theory. For details, cf. [74]. 2.3.3. Limit Compact Operators. As already noted above, a limit compact operator, described in Paragraph 2.2.1, can serve as an example of a compactly carried operator. In the class of admissible homotopies there are the homotopies of the form I-f~, where f)t(x) r x (x E I~) and the operator(h, x) ~ fk(x) is continuous in the collection of variables and limit compact in the collection of variables in the natural sense. A systematic account of the theory of rotation for limit compact 116, 174, 331, 420] and other papers.

A close approach in the case when the operator is defined on an absolute neighborhood a Banach space is described in [303,304,306, 309, 310].

2.3.4. K-Operators. The theories of rotation described in Paragraphs 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, unfortunately, has at least two deficiencies: firstly, the rotation, in contrast with the case of condensing vector fields, depends, generally speaking, on the behavior of the operators inside the domain, and secondly, linear homotopies frequently turn out to be not admissible. The theory of rotation for Kn-operators (n >_ 2), K~o-operators ~ and Koperators (cf. 2.2.1) lacks the first of these deficiencies. The construction of these theories is based on the concept of fundamental set (for details, cf. [101, 102,106]). Moreover, a construction of the theory of rotation for limit compact vector fields not having the indicated deficiency is in some sense in possible (cf. [102]). The construction in the analogous way (under minimal for K-operators (cf. [102]) lacks the second deficiency.

We give a typical result. THEOREM. Let the o p e r a t o r f : E ~ E be condensing, f(0) = 0 and the map I - f be injective. Then for any neighborhood of z e r o W, the set if-f)(W) is a neighborhood of z e r o . Various t h e o r e m s on s u r j e c t i v e n e s s and invariance of domain can be found in [173,174, 1 8 5 , 1 9 1 , 2 1 8 , 223,230,231,266,267,288,289,310,322,326,332,333,359,368,370,375,413,417,420]. 2.4.18.

Then f has in K at least one fixed point. THEOREM. Let the condensing o p e r a t o r f satisfy (2). Then one can find ~ > 1 and x E K, x ~ 0, s u c h t h a t f(x) = ;~x. These and other r e s u l t s resulting to the theory of positive condensing o p e r a t o r s can be found in [26, 54, 80-82, 85, 87, 104, 129, 131, 136-138, 1 9 0 , 1 9 6 , 2 0 4 - 2 0 7 , 2 2 2 , 2 3 5 , 2 8 6 , 2 9 3 , 2 9 4 , 3 3 8 , 3 4 4 , 3 6 8 , 3 6 9 ] . 2.4.19.

Hence, the known a s s e r t i o n s about the existence of eigenvalues of nonlinear condensing o p e r a t o r s , following f r o m this principle, r e m a i n valid. Results of this type, and also a s s e r t i o n s about the existence of eigenvalues of nonlinear condensing o p e r a t o r s , proved on the basis of other c o n s i d e r a t i o n s , can be found in [ 2 0 5 , 2 0 6 , 2 3 0 , 2 3 5 , 2 8 6 , 2 8 8 , 2 9 4 , 3 4 4 , 3 5 4 , 369]. 2.4.20. Linear Theory. A s y s t e m a t i c account of the r e s u l t s described in Sec. 1.4 can be found in [116]. Besides the approach d e s c r i b e d in this section, based on passage to the space E +, an a p p r o a c h to the study of F r e d h o l m properties of linear o p e r a t o r s based on factorization of the space of bounded linear o p e r a t o r s by the subspace of completely continuous linear o p e r a t o r s has been developed (cf. [40, 4 1 , 2 8 2 , 305] et al.). Let E l and E 2 be Banach s p a c e s , S be the unit sphere in El, and A : E 1 ~ E 2 be a bounded linear operator. We set

Modifications and generalizations of Theorem 1.4.6 can be found in [40,116,125, 140,205,371,373]. From Theorem 1.4.6, in particular, it follows that any linear condensing operator, acting in a (real or complex) Ba~aeh space, can be represented as a sum of a finite-dimensional and a compressing operator in an equivalent norm (cf. [116, 125]). The representation of a condensing linear operator as the sum of a completely continuous and a compressing operator (in the original norm) may be impossible (cf. [41]). In connection with this one should also note the following fact (cf. [418]): if A : E ~ H (E is a Banach and H is a Hilbert space) is a bounded linear operator, then k = inf{q > 0 :A is a (q, c~)-bounded operator} if and only if for any e > 0 there exists a representation of the operator A in the form Ke + Lr where Ke is a completely continuous linear operator, and the operator Le satisfies the condition k ~< IILall -< k + e. The description of the spectra of linear operators in terms of properties connected with the condensing properties of their iterates, can be found in [40, 77,116,125,163,257,258,284,285,305]. From Theorem 1.4.6 also follows the Fredholm alternative for equations of the form ?vx - Ax = f, where A is an operator which is condensing with constant q, and I kl > I/q (cf., e.g., [116], and also [282,332,419]). Now here we note that analogs of the Fredholm alternative for nonlinear condensing operators are given in [174, 295,296,328,329,332,371]. In a series of papers various questions connected with perturbations of Fredholm operators by condensing ones are studied. The basic result in this direction reduces, roughly speaking, to the following assertion: For any Fredholm operator A there exists a number 0 > 0 such that for any operator B, satisfying the inequali .t3r IDBll 4.

Equations
We begin with the description of applications of the theory of noneompactness measures and condensing operators to the theory of differential equations with deflected argument of neutral type. Without going into the "classificational" details, we shall mean by an equation of neutral type the following equation
x' (t)= f (t, xt, x't);
(1)
h e r e f : R•215 ~ (Ch=C[--h, 0] i s the s p a e e of functions, eontinuous on the s e g m e n t i - h , 0] with values in R n with u n i f o r m norm); xt and x~ a r e the e l e m e n t s of the s p a c e Ch defined by the equations xt(s) = x(t + s), x~(s) = x ' ( t + s) (s E i - h , 01). Below we shall a s s u m e that the o p e r a t o r f is continuous in the collection of v a r i a b l e s and s a t i s f i e s a Lipsehitz condition with constant k < 1 in the third v a r i a b l e . F i r s t we d e s c r i b e c e r t a i n o p e r a t o r s g e n e r a t e d by v a r i o u s p r o b l e m s for (1). 2.5.1. Cauchy P r o b l e m .

w h e r e ~ is a given function. The p r o b l e m (1)-(2) ean be redueed in many ways to the p r o b l e m of fixed points of various condensing o p e r a t o r s . We d e s c r i b e one such o p e r a t o r . With this goal, for any y E C [ - h , T] we set t

;~' (t) + f (0, (Yg)o, go)-- r (0) for t6[-- h, 0], (Fg) (t)= i f (t, (dr)t, Vt) for tQ[0, T I. Then the o p e r a t o r F acts in C [ - h , T] continuously and is condensing on any bounded s u b s e t of the s p a c e C [ - h , T]. F o r details, el. [108,116]. We note that for the existence of a continuously differentiable solution of (1)-(2) it is n e c e s s a r y that one have the "gluing" condition: q0'_(0) = f (0, % q~').
(4)
If this condition holds, then the solvability of (1)-(2) on the s e g m e n t i - h , T] is equivalent with the existence of a fixed point of the o p e r a t o r F in the s e t {y E C [ - h , T] :y(t) = q)T(t) for t ~ i - h , 0]}. Equation (4) often turns out to be r e s t r i c t i v e , so it is frequently useful to pass f r o m (1) to
x ' ( t ) = f ( t , xt, x;),
(5)
where
if(t, xt, x't)= f (t, xt, x'~)+v~(t)ix'_ ( 0 ) - - f ( 0 , x0, fro)], and v~ (t) = 1 - u - i t
for t E [0, p) and vp (t) = 0 for t E (p, ~).
This equation now s a t i s f i e s the gluing condition for
any initial function ~r The o p e r a t o r F, constructed f r o m f with the help of (3), differs f r o m the o p e r a t o r F by the c o m p l e t e l y continuous o p e r a t o r

The problem of existence of a T - p e r i o d i c solution of (1) (in the case of a function f which is T - p e r i o d i c in the f i r s t argument) is equivalent with the p r o b l e m of existence of fixed points of the o p e r a t o r UT.

Other r e s u l t s connected with conditions under which the translation o p e r a t o r along t r a j e c t o r i e s of one equation or another of neutral type is condensing are contained in [38, 69, 115, 119, 236, 244].
2.5.3. Problem of Periodic Solutions: Integral Operators. Now let the operator f be T-periodic in the first variable. By PC T we denote the space of T-periodic functions with values in Rn with uniform norm, and T

Fixed points (a, y) of the o p e r a t o r 9 and T - p e r i o d i c solutions x of (1) are connected by the following relations: x(0) = a, x ' = y. It turns out that the o p e r a t o r ~ is condensing on any bounded set U~PC/ with r e s p e c t to the uoncompactuess m e a s u r e g)2, defined by

and by u, u ' , u ' are denoted, r e s p e c t i v e l y , extensions to the interval [c~, fi] of the functions u, u', u" by z e r o . It turns out (cf. [57]) that the o p e r a t o r R is condensing with r e s p e c t to the noncompactness m e a s u r e X. Now fixed points of the o p e r a t o r R a r e solutions of (6)-(7). Close results can be found in [29, 57,237]. Now applying to o p e r a t o r equations one or another fixed point t h e o r e m , one can get various existence t h e o r e m s for solutions of various problems for equations of neutral type. There are results of this s o r t in [1, 6, 7, 19-21, 29, 39, 47, 48, 57, 9 1 , 1 1 5 , 1 3 3 , 1 6 2 , 2 3 6 - 2 3 9 , 2 4 1 , 2 4 3 , 2 4 6 , 2 7 1 , 3 1 1 , 3 1 4 , 3 1 5 , 3 1 7 ] . We give here one existence t h e o r e m for each of the problems listed above. The proofs of these t h e o r e m s a r e based on applying T h e o r e m 1.3.10 to the c o r r e s p o n d i n g o p e r a t o r equations. 2.5.5. THEOREM. Let the o p e r a t o r f be continuous in the collection of v a r i a b l e s , satisfy a Lipschitz condition with constant k < 1 in the third variable, and the initial function 9) satisfy (4). Then for some T > 0 the p r o b l e m (1)-(2) has on the segment i - h , T] at least one solution. 2.5.6. THEOREM. Suppose irl addition to the hypotheses of the preceding t h e o r e m the o p e r a t o r f is bounded and T - p e r i o d i c in the f i r s t variable. Let A be a Hurwitz n • n matrix. Then the equation

Let the functions g and ~i satisfy the conditions listed in P a r a g r a p h 2.5.4 and in addition let the function g be bounded. Then (6)-(7) has at least one solution. 2.5.8. Equations of Neutral Type with a P a r a m e t e r . F o r equations containing a p a r a m e t e r , applications based on T h e o r e m 2.4.15 or its analogs turn out to be very interesting. T h e o r e m 1.5.5 can s e r v e as an example of an a s s e r t i o n of this sort. Below we formulate a s e r i e s of typical r e s u l t s , which are obtained on this path. F o r simplicity we shall always a s s u m e that the p a r a m e t e r figuring in the equations is ~ e [0, 1]. 2.5.9. Cauchy P r o b l e m . We c o n s i d e r the equation
x' (t)= f (t, xt, x't, ~), where f: RXChXChX [0, I]--~R n is continuous and satisfies a Lipschitz condition with constant k < 1 in the third variable. Suppose for ~ = 0 that Eq. (8)* has on the segment i-h, T] a unique solution x ~ satisfying the initial condition (2). THEOREM. F o r sufficiently small ~ and all g, the equation

where f : C , , X C h X [0, II-+R n is continuous and satisfies a Lipschitz condition with constant k < 1 in the second variable, and the o p e r a t o r V(}) for each ~ ~ [0, 1] acts in Ch by the formula
iv (~) ul (s)--- u (~s) (sGI- h, 0l). Suppose for ~ = 0 the (ordinary differential) equation (9) has a T0-periodic solution x ~ and the o p e r a t o r f ( . , 9 0) is uniformly continuously differentiable in a neighborhood of the set {(V(0)x~ V(O)x~ Tol}. We denote by a(t) [respectively, b(t)] the derivative of the o p e r a t o r f ( . , 9 0) with r e s p e c t to the f i r s t (respectively, second) variable at the point (V(0)x~,V(0)x~'). Let the equation
