Abstract
In a recent paper we gave a notion of degree for a class of perturbations
of nonlinear Fredholm maps of index zero between real infinite dimensional
Banach spaces. Our purpose here is to extend that notion in order
to include the degree introduced by Nussbaum for local α-condensing
perturbations of the identity, as well as the degree for locally compact
perturbations of Fredholm maps of index zero recently defined by the
first and third authors.
