On the Leray-Schauder degree of the Toda system on compact surfaces

Analysis of PDEs 2013-12-02 v1

Abstract

In this paper we consider the so-called Toda system of equations on a compact surface. In particular, we discuss the parity of the Leray-Schauder degree of that problem. Our main tool is a theorem of Krasnoselskii and Zabreiko on the degree of maps symmetric with respect to a subspace. This result yields new existence results as well as a new proof of previous results in literature.
