Degree theory for the sum of VMO maps and maximal monotone maps
Abstract
Let Ω ⊂ Rn be an open bounded domain, f : Ω → Rn a VMO map, and T : D(T) ⊆ Rn → Rn a maximal monotone map with D(T) ∩ Ω ≠ ∅. We construct a degree for the sum of f + T, which can be viewed as a generalization of the degree both for VMO maps and maximal monotone maps.
