Linking theorems for multivalued functionals and application to partial differential inclusions

Using the framework of critical point theory for multivalued functionals developed in \cite{Fri}, we establish some linking theorems for such functionals, which generalizes \cite[Theorem 2.11]{Wi}, \cite[Theorem 2.12]{Wi} and \cite[Theorem 2.12]{Fri}. The proofs of our abstract results rely on a general minimax principle for multivalued mappings. As an application, we obtain a nontrivial solution of a semilinear Dirichlet boundary value problem for partial differential inclusions.

A new infinite-dimensional Linking theorem with application to a system of coupled Poisson equations

Using the minimax technique from the critical point theory, which consists in constructing or transforming a suitable class of applications such that a critical value $c$ of a functional $f$ can be characterized as a minimax value over this class, we establish a new natural infinite-dimensional linking theorem for strongly indefinite functionals by using the $\tau-$topology of Kryszewski and Szulkin. Our result is a generalization of the classical linking theorem \cite[Theorem 2.21]{Wi}. As an application, we obtain the existence of a nontrivial solution to a system of coupled Poisson equations.

An infinite dimensional saddle point theorem and application

By using the $\tau$-topology of Kryszewski and Szulkin, we establish a natural new version of the Saddle Theorem for strongly indefinite functionals. The abstract result will be applied for studying the existence of a nontrivial solution of the strongly indefinite semilinear Schr\"odinger equation where the associated functional is indefinite, that is, the functional is of the form $J(u) = \dfrac{1}{2} \langle Lu, u \rangle - \Psi(u)$ defined on a Hilbert space $X$, where $L : X \to X$ is a self-adjoint operator with negative and positive eigenspace both infinite-dimensional.
