Abstract

The singular set B = {x|F¹(x) is not surjective} of a nonlinear Fredholm operator F of positive index (between Banach spaces X₁ and X₂) is investigated. Under the assumption that the mapping is proper and has a locally Lipschitzian Fréchet derivative F¹(x), it is shown that the singular set B is nonempty. Furthermore, when the Banach spaces are infinite dimensional, B cannot be the countable union of compact sets nor can F^-1(F(B)) contain isolated points.
