Download or read book Measures of Noncompactness in Metric Fixed Point Theory written by José María Ayerbe Toledano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to metric fixed point theory. The goal is to develop, in a self-contained fashion, those results in this theory which involve the use of measures of noncompactness. Some of the well-known fixed point theorems are included with several applications to the theory of differential equations. This book is mainly addressed to graduate students who wish to learn about metric fixed point theory, but it will also be useful to researchers in the area. Most of the results presented here were obtained by the authors over the last ten years and have not previously appeared in any other textbook.
