We show that there exist unbounded functionals on the spaces of sequences that take at most one nonzero value on an arbitrary family of elements whose supports are pairwise disjoint.

It is studied the lower semicontinuity of functionals of the type $\int_\Omega f(x,u,v, \nabla u)dx$ with respect to the $(W^{1,1}\times L^p)$-weak \ast topology. Moreover in absence of lower semicontinuity, it is also provided an integral…

We extend the Palais-Smale condition to Keller's $C_c^1$-functionals on Fr\'{e}chet spaces. Using this condition together with Ekeland's variational principle, we obtain some results regarding the existence of minima. In this setting, we…

We show weak lower semi-continuity of functionals assuming the new notion of a "convexly constrained" $\mathcal A$-quasiconvex integrand. We assume $\mathcal A$-quasiconvexity only for functions defined on a set $K$ which is convex.…

We consider a class of integral functionals with convex integrand with respect to the gradient variable, assuming that the function that measures the oscillation of the integrand with respect to the x variable belongs to a suitable Sobolev…

The weak lower semicontinuity of the functional $$ F(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,\nabla u)\, dx$$ is a classical topic that was studied thoroughly. It was shown that if the function $f$ is continuous and convex in the last variable, the…
