- Abstract
- Using topological degree methods, we give some existence and multiplicity results for nonlinear differential or difference equations. In Chapter 1 some continuation theorems are presented. Chapter 2 deal with nonlinear difference equations. Using Brouwer degree we obtain upper and lower solutions theorems, Ambrosetti and Prodi type results and sharp existence conditions for nonlinearities which are bounded from below or from above. In Chapter 3, using Leray-Schauder degree, we give various existence and multiplicity result for second order differential equations with $phi$-Laplacian. Such equations are in particular motivated by the one-dimensional mean curvature problems and by the acceleration of a relativistic particle of mass one at rest moving on a straight line. In Chapter 4, using Mawhin continuation theorem, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of positive periodic solutions for delay Lotka-Volterra systems. In the last chapter of this work we prove some results concerning the multiplicity of solutions for a class of superlinear planar systems. The results of Chapters 2 and 3 are joint work with Prof. Jean Mawhin.
