Review text

Under one-sided growth conditions on the Lagrangian function, the author proves in this paper the existence of a critical point of mountain pass type for a Lagrangian system. An application concerning the propagation of light in a nonhomogeneous medium is proposed, with some numerical evaluations. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1492.86001].
