Topological Degree with Applications

GV studied mathematics in Pisa during  the 1960s with G. Stampacchis as Supervisor. He has been Professor at the Universities of Brasilia and Trieste, ending his career at SISSA (the research institute he co-founded together with P. Budinich, L. Fonda and L. Stasi). He has held visiting positions in Brazil, Peru, Somalia, South Africa and USA. After an initial activity in general topology, his main research topic has become BVPs for ODEs in connection with the topological methods of nonlinear functional analysis.
