Optimization and Control 2019-07-25 v1

Abstract

We prove existence of radially symmetric solutions and validity of Euler-Lagrange necessary conditions for a class of variational problems such that neither direct methods nor indirect methods of Calculus of Variations apply. We obtain existence and qualitative properties of the solutions by means of ad-hoc superlinear perturbations of the functional having the same minimizers of the original one.
