Non-convex minimization -- the case of vector fields
Making use of the theory of (weakly) monotone operators, the author studies minimization problems without global weak lower semicontinuity. The main result can be stated as follows. Let \(E\) be a real reflexive Banach space and \(f:E\to \mathbb{R}\) a continuous functional with semi-continuous and locally bounded Gateau derivative \(f':E\to E'\). If \(M\subset E\) is such that \((a)\) \(\inf_{M}f(u)>-\infty\), \((b)\) \(M\cap f^{-1}([a,b])\) is bounded in \(E\) for any \([a,b]\subset \mathbb{R}\), \((c)\) if \(u_{n}\to v\) weakly in \(E\), \((u_{n})\subset M\) and \(\lim f(u_{n})=\inf_{M}f(u)\), then \(v\in M\), \noindent then \(f\) admits a minimum on \(M\) if and only if there exist \((u_{n})\), \(v\in M\) such that \(u_{n}\to v\) weakly in \(E\), \(\lim f(u_{n})=\inf_{M}f(u)\) and (setting \(K_{\varepsilon}((u_{n}))=\{u\in E|u=t(u_{j}-v)\), \(\varepsilon\leq t\leq 1\), \(j\in\mathbb{N}\}\)) \(f'\) is weakly \(K_{\varepsilon}((u_{n}))\)-monotone at \(v\) whenever \(\varepsilon\in (0,\varepsilon_{0})\). The author then describes some `concrete' no quasi-convex situations which can be solved by the above stated abstract result announcing the proof in a forthcoming paper.
