Metric critical point theory. II. Deformation techniques
The paper is a continuation of the authors' part I [\textit{A. Ioffe} and \textit{E. Schwartzman}, J. Math. Pures Appl. 75, 125-153 (1996; Zbl 0852.58018)] and is devoted to the critical point theory for continuous functions on metric spaces. The purpose of the present paper is to build extensions of basic deformation techniques to nonsmooth settings. The authors prove two principal deformation results. The first one is about deformation outside an isolated critical set. This result makes it possible to built certain variants of Ljusternik-Schnirelman theory. Another one is an analogue of the so-called second deformation lemma used in Morse theory. As applications of these results, a general minimax theorem and an existence theorem for critical levels of Lipschitz perturbations of a quadratic functional are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0870.00030].
