“…By definition, topological degree is an integer number γ(A, D) which depends on the operator and on the domain D in the function space E. Topological degree for elliptic operators in unbounded domains is constructed in [15,14] on the basis of the theory of Fredholm and proper operators. The results on the Fredholm property and properness of the integro-differential operators presented above allow us to use the same construction.…”

Abstract. Linear elliptic problems in bounded domains are normally solvable with a finite-dimensional kernel and a finite codimension of the image, that is, satisfy the Fredholm property, if the ellipticity condition, the condition of proper ellipticity and the Lopatinskii condition are satisfied. In the case of unbounded domains these conditions are not sufficient any more. The necessary and sufficient conditions of normal solvability with a finite-dimensional kernel are formulated in terms of limiting problems. Adjoint operators to elliptic operators in unbounded domains are studied and the conditions in order for them to be normally solvable with a finite-dimensional kernel are also formulated by means of limiting problems. The properties of the direct and of the adjoint operators are used to prove the Fredholm property of elliptic problems in unbounded domains. Some special function spaces introduced in this work play an important role in the study of elliptic problems in unbounded domains.

Key words Proper nonlinear operators, quasilinear systems, compactness, decomposition lemma MSC (2010) 35G30, 35J55, 35A35The purpose of this paper is to provide tools for analyzing the compactness properties of sequences in Sobolev spaces, in particular if the sequence gets mapped onto a compact set by some nonlinear operator. Here, our focus lies on a very general class of nonlinear operators arising in quasilinear systems of partial differential equations of second order, in divergence form. Our approach, based on a suitable decomposition lemma, admits the discussion of problems with some inherent loss of compactness, for example due to a domain with infinite measure or a lower order term with critical growth. As an application, we obtain a characterization of properness which is considerably easier to verify than the definition.

Properness and topological degree for general elliptic operators

Abstract: The paper is devoted to general elliptic operators in Hölder spaces in bounded or unbounded domains. We discuss the Fredholm property of linear operators and properness of nonlinear operators. We construct a topological degree for Fredholm and proper operators of index zero.
