Topological Methods for Delay and Ordinary Differential Equations: With Applications to Continuum Mechanics

This volume explores the application of topological techniques in the study of delay and ordinary differential equations with a particular focus on continuum mechanics. Chapters, written by internationally recognized researchers in the field, present results on problems of existence, multiplicity localization, bifurcation of solutions, and more. Topological methods are used throughout, including degree theory, fixed point index theory, and classical and recent fixed point theorems. A wide v...
