On the Morse index of critical points in the viscosity method (Q2113291)

In this paper, the author shows that in viscous approximations of functionals defined on Finsler manifolds, it is possible to construct suitable sequences of critical points of these approximations satisfying the expected Morse index bounds as in Lazer-Solimini's theory [\textit{A. C. Lazer} and \textit{S. Solimini}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 12, No. 8, 761--775 (1988; Zbl 0667.47036)], together with the entropy condition of \textit{M. Struwe} [Acta Math. 160, No. 1--2, 19--64 (1988; Zbl 0646.53005); J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 2, No. 4, 329--388 (2000; Zbl 0982.35041)].
