Mountain Pass Theorem Variants, Generalizations, and Some Applications

This book presents min-max methods through a comprehensive study of the different faces of the celebrated Mountain Pass Theorem (MPT) of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz. The coverage includes standard topics: the classical and dual MPT; second-order information from PS sequences; symmetry and topological index theory; perturbations from symmetry; convexity and more. But it also covers other topics covered nowhere else in book form: the non-smooth MPT; the geometrically constrained MPT; numerical approaches to the MPT; and even more exotic variants.Jabri, Youssef is the author of 'Mountain Pass Theorem Variants, Generalizations, and Some Applications' with ISBN 9780521827218 and ISBN 0521827213.
