Abstract

New results are suggested which allow to calculate an index at infinity for asymptotically linear and asymptotically homogeneous vector fields in spaces of vector-valued functions. The case is considered where both linear approximation at infinity and "linear + homogeneous" approximation are degenerate. Applications are given to the 2π-periodic problem for a system of two nonlinear first order ODE's and to the two-point BVP for a system of two nonlinear second order ODE's.
