Local and Asymptotic Approximations of Nonlinear Operators by (k(1), ..., k(N))-Homogeneous Operators.
Abstract
Notions of local and asymptotic approximations of a nonlinear mapping F between normed linear spaces by a sum of N k(i)-homogeneous operators are defined and investigated. It is shown that the approximating operators inherit from F properties related to compactness and measures of noncompactness. As a byproduct, the well-known result that the Frechet (or asymptotic) derivative of a compact operator is compact is generalized in several directions and to families of operators. The notions introduced are examined within a hierarchy of other notions of local and asymptotic approximations and related differentials. Nets of equi-approximable operators with collectively compact (or bounded) approximates, which arise in approximate solutions of integral and operator equations, are studied with particular reference to pointwise (or weak convergence) properties.
