This monograph concerns the relationship between the local spectral theory and Fredholm theory
of bounded linear operators acting on Banach spaces. The purpose of this book is to provide a
first general treatment of the theory of operators for which Weyl-type or Browder-type theorems
hold. The product of intensive research carried out over the last ten years this book explores
for the first time in a monograph form results that were only previously available in journal
papers. Written in a simple style with sections and chapters following an easy natural flow
it will be an invaluable resource for researchers in Operator Theory and Functional Analysis.
The reader is assumed to be familiar with the basic notions of linear algebra functional
analysis and complex analysis.
