Minimax Theorems Michel Willem

Minimax Theorems By Michel Willem

Minimax Theorems by Michel Willem


Summary

Devoted to minimax theorems and their applications to partial differential equations, this text presents these theorems in a simple and unified way, starting from a quantitative deformation lemma. Many applications are given to problems dealing with lack of compactness.

Minimax Theorems Summary

Minimax Theorems by Michel Willem

Many boundary value problems are equivalent to Au=O (1) where A : X ---+ Y is a mapping between two Banach spaces. When the problem is variational, there exists a differentiable functional 0 and e E X such that lIell > rand inf

Minimax Theorems Reviews

The material is presented in a unified way, and the proofs are concise and elegant... Essentially self-contained.
