An Introduction to Nonlinear Analysis: Theory is an overview of some basic, important aspects of Nonlinear Analysis, with an emphasis on those not included in the classical treatment of the field. Today Nonlinear Analysis is a very prolific part of modern mathematical analysis, with fascinating theory and many different applications ranging from mathematical physics and engineering to social sciences and economics. Topics covered in this book include the necessary background material from topology, measure theory and functional analysis (Banach space theory). The text also deals with multivalued analysis and basic features of nonsmooth analysis, providing a solid background for the more applications-oriented material of the book An Introduction to Nonlinear Analysis: Applications by the same authors. The book is self-contained and accessible to the newcomer, complete with numerous examples, exercises and solutions. It is a valuable tool, not only for specialists in the field interested in technical details, but also for scientists entering Nonlinear Analysis in search of promising directions for research.

In the first part of this paper, the authors examine the degree map of multivalued perturbations of nonlinear operators of monotone type and prove that at a local minimizer of the corresponding Euler functional, this degree equals one. Then they use this result to prove multiplicity results for certain classes of unilateral problems with nonsmooth potential (variational-hemivariational inequalities). They also prove a multiplicity result for a nonlinear elliptic equation driven by the p-Laplacian with a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequality) whose subdifferential exhibits an asymmetric asymptotic behavior at $ \infty$ and $-\infty$.
