Abstract

The purpose of this short paper is very modest if compared with the greatness of the mathematician to whom it is dedicated. Here, indeed, we wish only to signalize a new result on the existence of zeros for operators taking their values in the dual of a real topological vector space. We do hope, however, that the novelty together with the simplicity of its statement can draw the attention of other mathematicians, in order to discover a possible variety of intermediate conditions making easier its applicability to concrete situations.
