Ranges of operators of monotone type in Banach space (Q2367839)

Let \(X\) be a reflexive Banach space with both \(X\) and \(X^*\) locally uniformly convex. Let \(G\subset X\) be open, bounded, and convex, and \(T: \overline{G}\to X^*\) an operator of monotone type. By means of degree theory of operators of type \((S_ +)\), the author establishes certain range properties of \(T\). He applies the results to the study of existence of a zero of \(T\) under various boundary conditions.
