Research Interests

My research is in Nonlinear Analysis and Nonlinear Differential Equations, part of the Analysis group in this department.

I have worked on a variety of topics, (recent publications and preprints illustrate my recent work) but the main areas of recent interest are:

  1. Study of positive solutions of nonlocal boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations.

  2. Theory and applications of fixed point index for various nonlinear mappings.

  3. Theory and applications of approximation solvability and A-proper mappings
