Continuation methods in Banach manifolds (Q2641610)

The authors give sufficient conditions to prove that a \(C^1\)-mapping has a zero in a Banach manifold by using continuation methods. The proof supplies the existence of a curve which leads to the solution. This can be approximated to as precise an error as desired. The key is the use of the Continuous Dependence Theorem [\textit{E. Zeidler}, Nonlinear functional analysis and its applications. Springer-Verlag, New York (1985; Zbl 0583.47051)], together with a consequence of the properties of Banach algebra of the linear continuous mappings from a Banach space into itself [\textit{H. Cartan}, Differential Calculus, Omega. Barcelona (1978), see (1971; Zbl 0223.35004)].
