In this paper, we compute, by using cone theory, the topological degree of a class of completely continuous fields where the condition on the lower boundedness of nonlinear operators is sharply weakened. Therefore our results substantially improve and generalize the existing ones in the literature. Finally we use our abstract results to establish the existence of nontrivial solutions for superlinear Hammerstein integral equations.
