Fixed point theorems for semidifferentiable k-set-contractions in ordered Banach spaces (Q1108569)

Given a real Banach space X with cone K, the author proves fixed point theorems for semidifferentiable nonlinear operators T:K\(\to K\); here T is called semidifferentiable if, roughly speaking, the derivative of T is only positively homogeneous rather than linear. The fixed point theorems generalize previous results by M. A. Krasnosel'skij and H. Amann. The main tool is the fixed point index for condensing maps developd, for instance, by B. N. Sadovskij and R. D. Nussbaum [see also the paper by \textit{P. M. Fitzpatrick} and the author in J. London Math. Soc., II. Ser. 12, 75-85 (1975; Zbl 0329.47022)].
