Critical point theory on convex subsets with applications in differential equations and analysis (Q2193435)

The paper provides a variational principle allowing us to pass from solving an inequality problem on a closed convex subset to finding a solution for an inclusion problem on the entire space. This offers an efficient tool in the study of inequality problems such as hemivariational inequalities. A major part of the work focuses on the nonsmooth critical point theory on convex sets. Some results go beyond the variational setting. The author discusses various applications regarding nonlocal boundary value problems, sub-supersolutions on unbounded domains, supercritical Neumann problems, nonsmooth symmetric criticality, fixed point theory, evolution equations.
