Riassunto

-review of the first edition. New to this edition: additional applications of the theory and techniques, as well as several new proofs. This book is ideal for self-study for mathematicians and students interested in geometric and algebraic topology, functional analysis, differential equations, and applied mathematics.

Su questo libro

Recensione

"The book is highly recommended as a text for an introductory course in nonlinear analysis and bifurcation theory... reading is fluid and very pleasant... style is informal but far from being imprecise."

- Mathematical Reviews (Review of the first edition)

"For the topology-minded reader, the book indeed has a lot to offer: written in a very personal, eloquent and instructive style it makes one of the highlights of nonlinear analysis accessible to a wide audience."

- Monatshefte für Mathematik

"Written by an expert in fixed point theory who is well aware of the important applications of this area to nonlinear analysis and differential equations, the first edition of this book has been very well received, and has helped both topologists in learning nonlinear analysis and analysts in appreciating topological fixed point theory. The second edition has kept the freshness and clarity of style of the first one. The new version remains more than even an excellent introduction to the sue of topological techniques in dealing with nonlinear problems." ---Mathematical Society
