Milojevic (New Jersey Inst. of Technology, Newark, NJ, USA) Abstract: We study the solvability and the number of solutions to Hammerstein operator equations in Banach spaces using a projection like method and degree theory for corresponsing vector fields. The linear part is assumed to be either selfadjoint or non-seladjoint. We present also applications to Hammerstein integral equations. Submitted December 12, 2003. Published April 8, 2004.
