Abstract
The paper is devoted to the calculation of the index of a zero and
the asymptotic index of a linear completely continuous nonnegative
operator. Also the case of a nonlinear completely continuous
operator A whose domain and image are situated in a closed convex
set Q of a Banach space is considered. For this case, we
formulate the rules for calculating the index of an arbitrary
fixed point and the asymptotic index under the assumption that the
corresponding linearizations exist and the operators of derivative
do not have eigenvectors with eigenvalue 1 in some wedges.
