Abstract

In nonlinear analysis, several interesting results have been proved by using a technique known as the partition of unity. This approach is based upon elementary topological tools — the existence of a finite covering of a compact space, and a partition of unity subordinated to this covering and then the Brouwer fixed point theorem for single-valued mappings.
