A new infinite-dimensional Linking theorem with application to a system of coupled Poisson equations

Using the minimax technique from the critical point theory, which consists in constructing or transforming a suitable class of applications such that a critical value $c$ of a functional $f$ can be characterized as a minimax value over this class, we establish a new natural infinite-dimensional linking theorem for strongly indefinite functionals by using the $\tau-$topology of Kryszewski and Szulkin. Our result is a generalization of the classical linking theorem \cite[Theorem 2.21]{Wi}. As an application, we obtain the existence of a nontrivial solution to a system of coupled Poisson equations.
