Some remarks on a three critical points theorem (Q1399945): Difference between revisions

This paper establishes several applications to nonlinear boundary value problems of the three critical points theorem of Ricceri. First, the author proves several abstract results related to a strict minimax inequality. As applications, there are established multiplicity results for nonlinear elliptic problems, including: (i) a two-point boundary value problem, (ii) a Dirichlet problem for semilinear elliptic equations with discontinuous nonlinearities, and (iii) a nonlinear Neumann boundary problem. The proofs rely on refined arguments in the critical point theory.
