Assume $X$ is a Banach space, $\Omega \subseteq X$ is an open set, $K\in {C}^{1}( \overline{\Omega}, X)$ is a nonlinear compact map, Is $\operatorname{Id}-K$ a proper map? I think maybe it has something to do with the spectrum of the compact operator. Could you give me some hints?

    $\begingroup$ In the case $X = \Omega = \mathbb{R}$, the mapping $K = Id$ is compact, but $Id - K$ is not proper. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2023 at 3:35
  • $\begingroup$ yeah, I agree with you. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ A sufficient condition is of course that $K(\Omega)$ is relatively compact. If you use the usual definition of compact map (maps bounded sets into relatively compact sets), it is thus sufficient that $\Omega$ is bounded, $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2023 at 19:25
  • $\begingroup$ Another often-used sufficient condition for unbounded $\Omega$ is that $\lVert K(x)\rVert/\lVert x\rVert\to\infty$ as $\lVert x\rVert\to\infty$ (which implies that $(I-K)^{-1}(B)$ is bounded for bounded $B$). $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 19, 2023 at 19:29
