A quantitative version of Krasnosel’skiĭ ’s theorem in R2

Marilyn Breen

Vol. 91 (1980), No. 1, 31–37
Abstract

This work concerns a quantitative version of Krasnosel’skii’s theorem in R2, and the following result is obtained: Let S be a nonempty compact subset of R2 having n points of local nonconvexity. Then the kernel of S contains an interval of radius 𝜀 > 0 if and only if every f(n) = max{4,2n} points of S see via S a common interval of radius 𝜀. The number f(n) in the theorem is best possible for every n 1.
