Quantitative Deformation Theorems and Critical Point Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is well known that deformation theorems are the basic tools in critical point theory. They can be derived under a condition of Palais-Smale type ((PS), for short). In the classical setting of a C1 functional f defined on a Banach space X (or a C2 Finsler manifold), we refer to [15]; for a continuous functional f defined on a complete metric space X, we refer to [8], the results of which include the case of a C1 functional defined on a C1 Finsler manifold. On the other hand, some authors gave, in the smooth case, so-called quantitative deformation theorems which are based on a weaker condition than (PS), see, e.g., [2, 21], and also [16] for a detailed account of the theory. Now, it is also well known how the min-max principle yields the existence of a critical value of the functional f, by combining a deformation theorem under the (PS) condition, and some geometrical assumptions. Generally speaking, this is the case when a subset B of X links another subset A of X, and the condition −∞ < b0 := sup B f ≤ inf A f =: a < +∞ (1.1)

A Unified Approach to Min-max Critical Point Theorems
We present in a unified way some abstract theorems on critical point theory in Banach spaces. The approach is elementary and concentrates on the deformation theorems and on the general min-max principle.
متن کاملCritical fixed point theorems in Banach algebras under weak topology features
In this paper, we establish some new critical fixed point theorems for the sum $AB+C$ in a Banach algebra relative to the weak topology, where $frac{I-C}{A}$ allows to be noninvertible. In addition, a special class of Banach algebras will be considered.
متن کاملMinimax Theorems on C1 Manifolds via Ekeland Variational Principle
Let X be a Banach space and Φ : X → R of class C1. We are interested in finding critical points for the restriction of Φ to the manifold M = {u ∈ X : G(u) = 1}, where G : X → R is a C1 function having 1 as a regular value. A point u ∈M is a critical point of the restriction of Φ to M if and only if dΦ(u)|TuM = 0 (see the definition in Section 2). Our purpose is to prove two general minimax prin...
