Abstract

Let X, Y be real Banach spaces, and let = {f(λ):λ ∈ m} be an m-parameter family of bounded linear operators from X to Y, with f(λ) depending continuously on λ. The cases m = 1 and m = 2 are considered, and conditions on are found which determine the null space of f(λ) for all λ near a given λ0 such that f0): XY is a Fredholm operator. The results obtained are shown to be of particular interest in perturbed bifurcation theory.
