Abstract
We introduce a class of functionals on the space of rapidly decreasing sequences , called -functionals, defined as decomposable sums of quadratic and convex terms with quadratic growth. We prove that such functionals satisfy the Palais-Smale condition and admit a unique global minimum. Furthermore, we show that the Palais-Smale condition is preserved under linear homeomorphisms. This allows us to construct corresponding functionals satisfying the Palais-Smale condition on Fr\'echet spaces isomorphic to . We then show how this framework provides a tool for the proof of existence and uniqueness of solutions for specific operator problems, where coupled infinite-dimensional systems are transformed into diagonalized problems in the space .
