This book describes many new results and extensions of the theory of generalised topological degree for densely defined A-proper operators and presents important applications, particularly to boundary value problems of non-linear ordinary and partial differential equations, which are intractable under any other existing theory. A-proper mappings arise naturally in the solution to an equation in infinite dimensional space via the finite dimensional approximation. This theory subsumes classical theory involving compact vector fields, as well as the more recent theories of condensing vector-fields, strongly monotone and strongly accretive maps. Researchers and graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics and physics who make use of non-linear analysis will find this an important resource for new techniques.

The authors develop a degree theory for compact immersed hypersurfaces of prescribed K-curvature immersed in a compact, orientable Riemannian manifold, where K is any elliptic curvature function. They apply this theory to count the (algebraic) number of immersed hyperspheres in various cases: where K is mean curvature, extrinsic curvature and special Lagrangian curvature and show that in all these cases, this number is equal to -chi(M), where chi(M) is the Euler characteristic of the ambient manifold M.
