An algorithm for numerical calculation of topological degree

Pages 63-77 | Published online: 10 May 2007
 

Abstract

Let be a continuous function from a connected n-dimensional polyhedron Pn to Rn. Assume Φn does not vanish on the boundary b(Pn) so that the topological degree of Φn relative to the origin is defined. Let ωi be the modulus of continuity of Assume where the Ωn are known functions which are O(t). An algorithm is given which subdivides b(Pn) in a certain way, then terminates; the degree may then be readily calculated using a formula of[6] in a special way which avoids much of the computation.
