Bifurcation of Gradient Mappings Possessing the Palais-Smale Condition

نویسنده

چکیده

This paper considers bifurcation at the principal eigenvalue of a class of gradient operators which possess the Palais-Smale condition. The existence of the bifurcation branch and the asymptotic nature of the bifurcation is verified by using the compactness in the Palais Smale condition and the order of the nonlinearity in the operator. The main result is applied to estimate the asyptotic behaviour of solutions to a class of semilinear elliptic equations with a critical Sobolev exponent.

2 5 Fe b 20 01 Palais - Smale Condition , Index Pairs and Critical Point Theory

This paper is concerned with index pairs in the sense of Conley index theory for flows relative to pseudo-gradient vector fields for C 1-functions satisfying Palais-Smale condition. We prove a deformation theorem for such index pairs to obtain a Lusternik-Schnirelmann type result in Conley index theory.

Global Inversion via the Palais-smale Condition

Fixing a complete Riemannian metric g on Rn, we show that a local diffeomorphism f : Rn → Rn is bijective if the height function f · v (standard inner product) satisfies the Palais-Smale condition relative to g for each for each nonzero v ∈ Rn. Our method substantially improves a global inverse function theorem of Hadamard. In the context of polynomial maps, we obtain new criteria for invertibi...

Variational Principles for Set-Valued Mappings with Applications to Multiobjective Optimization

This paper primarily concerns the study of general classes of constrained multiobjective optimization problems (including those described via set-valued and vector-valued cost mappings) from the viewpoint of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation. To proceed, we first establish two variational principles for set-valued mappings, which—being certainly of independent interest...

Existence of Solutions for Semilinear Elliptic Problems without (ps) Condition

We establish an existence result for semilinear elliptic problems with the associated functional not satisfying the Palais-Smale condition. The nonlinearity of our problem does not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition.

Curve-straightening and the Palais-smale Condition

This paper considers the negative gradient trajectories associated with the modified total squared curvature functional ∫ k2 + ν ds. The focus is on the limiting behavior as ν tends to zero from the positive side. It is shown that when ν = 0 spaces of curves exist in which some trajectories converge and others diverge. In one instance the collection of critical points splits into two subsets. A...
