On the Construction of Lusternik-Schnirelmann Critical Values with Application to Bifurcation Problems
1987
An iterative method to construct Lusternik-Schnirelmann critical values is presented. Examples of its use to obtain numerical solutions to nonlinear eigenvalue problems and their bifurcation branches are given. peerReviewed
A symmetrization result for Monge–Ampère type equations
2007
In this paper we prove some comparison results for Monge–Ampere type equations in dimension two. We also consider the case of eigenfunctions and we derive a kind of “reverse” inequalities. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
Critical points for nondifferentiable functions in presence of splitting
2006
A classical critical point theorem in presence of splitting established by Brézis-Nirenberg is extended to functionals which are the sum of a locally Lipschitz continuous term and of a convex, proper, lower semicontinuous function. The obtained result is then exploited to prove a multiplicity theorem for a family of elliptic variational-hemivariational eigenvalue problems. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Exact constants in Poincaré type inequalities for functions with zero mean boundary traces
2014
In this paper, we investigate Poincare type inequalities for the functions having zero mean value on the whole boundary of a Lipschitz domain or on a measurable part of the boundary. We find exact and easily computable constants in these inequalities for some basic domains (rectangles, cubes, and right triangles) and discuss applications of the inequalities to quantitative analysis of partial differential equations.
