The first step when solving an infinite-dimensional eigenvalue problem is often to discretize it. We show that one must be extremely careful when discretizing nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Using examples, we show that discretization can:…

An old and well-known open problem in the critical point theory asks whether, for some $p \neq 2$ and some bounded domain $\Omega$, there exists a critical value of the $p$-Dirichlet energy $\|\nabla u\|_p^p$ over an $L^p(\Omega)$-sphere in…
