In this paper we study the existence of critical points for noncoercive functionals, whose principal part has a degenerate coerciveness. A bifurcation result at zero for the associated differential operator is established.
We provide an existence result for a system of quasilinear equations subject to nonlinear boundary conditions on a bounded domain by using the fibering method.
We present a novel approach to solving a specific type of quasilinear boundary value problem with -Laplacian that can be considered an alternative to the classic approach based on the mountain pass theorem. We introduce a new way of proving the existence of nontrivial weak solutions. We show that the nontrivial solutions of the problem are related to critical points of a certain functional different from the energy functional, and some solutions correspond to its minimum. This idea is new even...
The main result of this note asserts that for any subanalytic locally Lipschitz function the set of its Clarke critical values is locally finite. The proof relies on Pawłucki's extension of the Puiseux lemma. In the last section we give an example of a continuous subanalytic function which is not constant on a segment of "broadly critical" points, that is, points for which we can find arbitrarily short convex combinations of gradients at nearby points.
In the recent literature, the phenomenon of phase separation for binary mixtures of Bose–Einstein condensates can be understood, from a mathematical point of view, as governed by the asymptotic limit of the stationary Gross–Pitaevskii system , as the interspecies scattering length goes to . For this system we consider the associated energy functionals , with -mass constraints, which limit (as ) is strongly irregular. For such functionals, we construct multiple critical points via a common...
Critical points of a variant of the Ambrosio-Tortorelli functional, for which non-zero Dirichlet boundary conditions replace the fidelity term, are investigated. They are shown to converge to particular critical points of the corresponding variant of the Mumford-Shah functional; those exhibit many symmetries. That Dirichlet variant is the natural functional when addressing a problem of brittle fracture in an elastic material.

On the unit disk we study the Moser-Trudinger functional and its restrictions , where for . We prove that if a sequence of positive critical points of (for some ) blows up as , then , and weakly in and strongly in . Using this fact we also prove that when is large enough, then has no positive critical point, complementing previous existence results by Carleson-Chang, M. Struwe and Lamm-Robert-Struwe.
We use the genus theory to prove the existence and multiplicity of solutions for the fractional -Kirchhoff problem

We consider the existence and nonexistence of solutions for the following singular quasi-linear elliptic problem with concave and convex nonlinearities:
⎧ , x ∈ Ω,
⎨
⎩ , x ∈ ∂Ω,
where Ω is an exterior domain in , that is, , where D is a bounded domain in with smooth boundary ∂D(=∂Ω), and 0 ∈ Ω. Here λ > 0, 0 ≤ a < (N-p)/p, 1 < p< N, ∂/∂ν is the outward normal derivative on ∂Ω. By the variational method, we prove the existence of multiple solutions. By the test function method,...
