A new estimate for the topological degree. (English. Abridged French version) Zbl 1071.55002

Summary: We establish a new estimate for the topological degree of continuous maps from the sphere \(\mathbb S^N\) into itself, which answers a question raised in J. Bourgain, H. Brezis, and P. Mironescu [Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 58, 529–551 (2005; Zbl 1077.46023)] and extends some of the results proved there, as well as in recent work by these authors (Lifting, degree, and distributional Jacobian revisited, http://ann.jussieu.fr/publications).
