Review text

Let \(C^1(E,\mathbb{R})\) be the set of continuously Frèchet differentiable functionals on a real Banach space \(E\). Then there holds the Mountain Pass Theorem [\textit{A. Ambrosetti} and \textit{P. H. Rabinowitz}, J. Funct. Anal. 14, 349-381 (1973; Zbl 0273.49063)]. Using this theorem, the author proves one general result of Cauchy-Lagrange type that allows to establish the existence of critical points for \(C^1(E,\mathbb{R})\) functionals. An application to nonlinear elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions is given.
