Eigenvalue problems for Fredholm operators with set-valued perturbations

Abstract

By means of a suitable degree theory, we prove persistence of eigenvalues and eigenvectors for set-valued perturbations of a Fredholm linear operator. As a consequence, we prove existence of a bifurcation point for a non-linear inclusion problem in abstract Banach spaces. Finally, we provide applications to differential inclusions.
