The main aim of this paper is to construct a topological degree for maps -A + F : M boolean AND D(A) -> E where a densely defined closed operator A : D(A) -> E of a Banach space E is such that -A is the generator of a compact C-0 semigroup, and F : M -> E is a locally Lipschitz map defined on a neighborhood retract M subset of E. If M is a closed convex cone, then a degree formula allowing an effective computation of the degree is proved. This formula provides an infinite-dimensional counterpart of the well-known Krasnosel'skii theorem. By the use of the introduced topological degree and an abstract result concerning branching of fixed points, the bifurcation of periodic points of the parameterized boundary value problem [graphics] is studied. Examples of applications to partial differential equations are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
