Synopsis

It is shown that three independent axioms uniquely determine the topological degree of set-valued maps of the form I – G, where G is a convex-valued, limit compact map. This extends earlier work of Amann and Weiss, Nussbaum, and others, in that, apart from dealing with set-valued maps, a larger class of maps is considered even in the single-valued case.
