چکیده
We present a version of the classical Mountain Pass Lemma and explain how to combine it with constraint qualifications to prove that nonlinear programming problems have a unique local minimizer.

Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic system with nonlinear boundary conditions
This study concerns the existence and multiplicity of positive weak solutions for a class of semilinear elliptic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. Our results is depending on the local minimization method on the Nehari manifold and some variational techniques. Also, by using Mountain Pass Lemma, we establish the existence of at least one solution with positive energy.
متن کاملExistence of Convex Hypersurfaces with Prescribed Gauss-kronecker Curvature
Let f(x) be a given positive function in Rn+1. In this paper we consider the existence of convex, closed hypersurfaces X so that its GaussKronecker curvature at x ∈ X is equal to f(x). This problem has variational structure and the existence of stable solutions has been discussed by Tso (J. Diff. Geom. 34 (1991), 389–410). Using the Mountain Pass Lemma and the Gauss curvature flow we prove the ...
متن کاملGluing Approximate Solutions of Minimum Type on the Nehari Manifold
In the last decade or so, variational gluing methods have been widely used to construct homoclinic and heteroclinic type solutions of nonlinear elliptic equations and Hamiltonian systems. This note is concerned with the procedure of gluing mountain-pass type solutions. The rst procedure to glue mountain-pass type solutions was developed through the work of S er e, and Coti Zelati-Rabinowitz. Th...
متن کاملOn the dependence on parameters for mountain pass solutions of second order discrete BVP's
We investigate the continuous dependence on parameters for the mountain pass solutions of second order discrete equations with p-Laplacian and Dirichlet type boundary conditions. We show that assumptions leading to the existence of nontrivial solutions lead also to its continuous dependence on parameters. We investigate also the uniqueness of solutions. 2012 Elsevier Inc.

متن کاملExistence of homoclinic solutions for a class of second order p-Laplacian systems with impulsive effects
This paper is concerned with the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of second order p-Laplacian systems with impulsive effects. A new result is obtained under more relaxed conditions by using the mountain pass theorem, a weak convergence argument, and a weak version of Lieb’s lemma. MSC: 34C37; 35A15; 37J45; 47J30
