Let W be a parallelizable compact oriented manifold of dimension $n$ with boundary ${\partial}W=M$. We define the so-called Gauss map $f:M{\rightarrow}S^{n-1}$ using a framing of TW and show that the degree of $f$ is equal to Euler-Poincar$\acute{e}$ number ${\chi}(W)$, regardless of the specific framing. As a special case, we get a Hopf theorem.

In this paper, we prove the existence of solutions of the heat equation for harmonic map on a compact manifold with a boundary when the target manifold is allowed to have positively curved parts.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of statistically sequentially quotient map which is a generalization of sequence covering map and discuss the relation with covering maps by some examples. Using this concept, we give an affirmative answer for a question by Fucai Lin and Shou Lin.

We study the existence of positive solutions of second order nonlinear separated boundary value problems of superlinear as well as sublinear type without imposing monotonicity restrictions on the problem. The type of problem investigated cannot be analyzed using the linearization about the trivial solution because either it does not exist (the sublinear case) or is trivial (the superlinear case). The results follow from a known fixed point theorem by noticing that the concavity of the solutions provides an important condition for the applicability of the fixed point result.
