The study of critical points has grown rapidly in recent years, finding applications in most every science. This book spans the material required for those who want a survey of modern critical point theory.

Key features:

*Provides an introduction to linking methods and generalizations

*Explains the fundamentals of minimax systems

*Many examples and applications

This text starts at the foundations of the field, and is accessible with some background in functional analysis. As such, the book is ideal for classroom of...

Since the birth of the calculus of variations, researchers have discovered that variational methods, when they apply, can obtain better results than most other methods. Moreover, they apply in a very large number of situations. It was realized many years ago that the solutions of a great number of problems are in effect critical points of functionals. Critical Point Theory and Its Applications presents some of the latest research in the area of critical point theory. Researchers have obtained many new results recently using this approach, and in most cases comparable results have not been...
