On the topological degree for \(A\)-compact mappings (Q1176580)

This article deals with the generalization of the Browder-Petryshin degree theory for \(A\)-proper mappings to a new class of maps which are called \(A\)-compact by the author. This class contains the classes of \(A\)- proper mappings and admissible mappings that is considered by S. Werinski and is closed with respect to completely continuous perturbations. The mapping \(T\) from the closure of the open subset \(G\) of a Banach space \(\mathbb{X}\) into \(\mathbb{X}\) is called \(A\)-compact (with respect to the approximation scheme \(\Gamma_ n=\{\mathbb{X},P_ n,\mathbb{X}_ n\})\) if for any \(y\in\mathbb{X}\), for any sequence \(\{n_ j\}\) of positive integers with \(n_ j\to\infty\) and for any sequence \(\{x_ n\}\) from \(G\cap\mathbb{X}_ n\), satisfying \(\lim_{j\to\infty}P_ nTx_{n_ j}=z_ j\) there exists a subsequence \(\{x_{n_{jk}}\}\) such that \(\lim_{j\to\infty}Tx_{n_{jk}}=y\). Under natural conditions for the approximation scheme the author defines the degree \(D(T,G,y)\) for any \(A\)-compact mapping \(T:\text{cl}G\to\mathbb{X}\) and the point \(y\) \((y\not\in\text{Cl}(\text{bdry}G))\) as a set of partial limits of the sequence \(d(G_ n,P_ n,T,P_ ny)\). The main facts of Browder-Petryshyn degree theory hold in the new situation.
