Topological Methods in Nonlinear Analysis

A Hartman-Nagumo type condition for a class of contractible domains

Abstract

We generalize an existence result on second order systems with a nonlinear term satisfying the so-called Hartman-Nagumo condition. The generalization is based on the use of Gauss second fundamental form and continuation techniques.
