TLDR
In this article, the Brouwer degree of a topological invariant with respect to an open bounded subset of a continuous set of subsets of a set of points is defined.
Abstract
In order to establish some notation and terminology we recall that if f : ℝ n → ℝ n is continuous and Ω is an open bounded subset of ℝ n such that f is different from 0 on the boundary of Ω, then there is defined an integer Deg(f, Ω) — the Brouwer (or topological) degree of f with respect to Ω. Obviously, if in the place of all continuos maps and all open bounded subsets of ℝ n we take a smaller class of maps and/or a smaller class of subsets then we may try to define a topological invariant finer then the topological degree.
