Research Interests
I think it is very difficult to evaluate a mathematician or a part of mathematics. There are a lot of beautiful things to be done in mathematics. And mathematics is, basically, individual. I don't believe you can do mathematics with a group.
I have no difficulty in doing mathematics, so when I do mathematics, I enjoy it. And therefore I'm always doing mathematics, because the other things I cannot do. There is nothing else I can do well. And I think this will be true throughout my life.
Although I teach mathematics at a secondary school, my main research interests are in:
a) Nonlinear Functional Analysis
b) Axiomatic Topological Degree Theory
c) Nonlinear Evolution Equations
d) Bases in Banach Spaces
e) Nonlinear Operators of Monotone Type
