In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $\left(\varphi_1, \varphi_2\right)-$convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g…

In his seminal work \cite{pal:61}, R. Palais extended a substantial part of the theory of compact transformation groups to the case of proper actions of locally compact groups. Here we extend to proper actions some other important results…

We prove multiplicity theorems for Keller $ C_c^1 $-functionals on Frechet spaces and Finsler manifolds which are invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup. For such functionals, we evaluate the minimal number of critical points by…

We prove a so-called linking theorem and some of its corollaries, namely a mountain pass theorem and a three critical points theorem for Keller $ C^1$-functional on $ C^1 $- Frechet manifolds. Our approach relies on a deformation result…

In this paper we prove existence and multiplicity results of unbounded critical points for a general class of weakly lower semicontinuous functionals. We will apply a suitable nonsmooth critical point theory.

Given a real Banach space $X$, we show that the Nehari manifold method can be applied to functionals which are $C^1$ in $X \setminus \{0\}$. In particular we deal with functionals that can be unbounded near $0$, and prove the existence of a…

The objective of this paper is to introduce and study a complicated nonlinear system, called coupled variational-hemivariational inequalities, which is described by a highly nonlinear coupled system of inequalities on Banach spaces. We…

Let $S$ be a right reversible semitopological semigroup, and let $\operatorname{LUC}(S)$ be the space of left uniformly continuous functions on $S$. Suppose that $\operatorname{LUC}(S)$ has a left invariant mean. Let $K$ be a weakly compact…

In this article we introduce the structure of an analytic Banach manifold in the set of stationary flows without stagnation points of the ideal incompressible fluid in a periodic 2-d channel bounded by the curves $y=f(x)$ and $y=g(x)$ where…

For a compact subgroup $G$ of the group of isometries acting on a Riemannian manifold $M$ we investigate subspaces of Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin type which are invariant with respect to the group action. Our main aim is to extend the…

In this article we generalize a theorem by Palais on the rigidity of compact group actions to cotangent lifts. We use this result to prove rigidity for integrable systems on symplectic manifolds including sytems with degenerate…

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of hemivariational problems in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq 3$). These hemivariational inequalities have a variational structure and,…

We introduce a continuous domain for function spaces over topological spaces which are not core-compact. Notable examples of such topological spaces include the real line with the upper limit topology, which is used in solution of initial…

Let M be an analytic manifold modelled on an ultrametric Banach space over a complete ultrametric field. Let f be an analytic diffeomorphism from M onto itself and p be a fixed point of f. We discuss invariant manifolds around p, like…

Fixed point theory studies conditions under which nonexpansive maps on Banach spaces have fixed points. This paper examines the open question of whether every reflexive Banach space has the fixed point property. After surveying classical…

Relative equilibria of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian systems with symmetry are critical points of appropriate scalar functions parametrized by the Lie algebra (or its dual) of the symmetry group. Setting aside the structures - symplectic,…
