Abstract

In [ 1 ] F. E. Browder and W. V. Petryshyn develop a generalized degree theory for A-proper mappings. This class of mappings is wider than com- pact perturbations of the identity, for which the classical Leray-Schauder degree is defined. Recently Werinski [S] defined a fixed point index for another class of mappings, called Admissible, which includes compact map- pings but does not include the class of A-proper mappings. In this paper we will define a topological degree for a new class of mappings, which we denote A-compact mappings. We will prove that this class contains the classes of A-proper mappings and Admissible mappings. As an application we shall show some classical topological results for not necessarily A-proper mappings.
