Abstract:
The classical Poincaré–Bohl theorem provides the exis-tence of a zero for a function avoiding external rays. When the do-main is convex, the same holds true when avoiding normal cones. We consider here the possibility of dealing with nonconvex sets having in-ward corners or cusps, in which cases the normal cone vanishes. This allows us to deal with situations where the topological degree may be di˙erent from ±1.
