Roughly speaking, Ekeland's Variational Principle (EkVP) (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 47 (1974), 324--353) asserts the existence of strict minima of some perturbed versions of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a complete metric space.…
In this short communication, we present a generalization of the Ekeland variational principle. The main result is established through standard tools of functional analysis and calculus of variations. The novelty here is a result involving…
Approximate necessary optimality conditions in terms of Fr\'echet subgradients and normals for a rather general optimization problem with a potentially non-Lipschitzian objective function are established with the aid of Ekeland's…
The present paper is concerned with Ekeland Variational Principle (EkVP) and its equivalents (Caristi-Kirk fixed point theorem, Takahashi minimization principle, Oettli-Th\'era equilibrium version of EkVP) in quasi-uniform spaces. These…
This study proposes a new efficiency requirement, a minimal almost weak Pareto principle, which says that x is socially better than y whenever the only one individual never prefers y to x, and all the others prefers x to y. Then, I show…
We analyze Ekeland's variational principle in the context of reverse mathematics. We find that that the full variational principle is equivalent to $\Pi^1_1$-${\sf CA}_0$, a strong theory of second-order arithmetic, while natural…
In this paper, we establish a partial order principle, which is useful to deriving vector Ekeland variational principle (denoted by EVP). By using the partial order principle and extending Gerstewitz's functions, we obtain a vector EVP for…
In the setting of real vector spaces, we establish a general set-valued Ekeland variational principle (briefly, denoted by EVP), where the objective function is a set-valued map taking values in a real vector space quasi-ordered by a convex…
Weak sharp minimality is a notion emerged in optimization, whose utility is largeley recognized in the convergence analysis of algorithms for solving extremum problems as well as in the study of the perturbation behaviour of such problems.…

We introduce the notion of weak minimizer in set optimization. Necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of scalarized variational inequalities of Stampacchia and Minty type, respectively, are proved. As an application, we obtain…
We give an overview of some applications of a general variational principle.
First and second order corrections for the scattering of different types of particles by a weak gravitational field, treated as an external field, are calculated. These computations indicate a violation of the Equivalence Principle: to…
We review and clarify the sufficient conditions for uniquely defining the generalized weak value as the weak limit of a conditioned average using the contextual values formalism introduced in Dressel J, Agarwal S and Jordan A N 2010 Phys.…
In my former paper "A pre-order principle and set-valued Ekeland variational principle" (see: arXiv: 1311.4951[math.FA]), we established a general pre-order principle. From the pre-order principle, we deduced most of the known set-valued…
The average result of a weak measurement of some observable $A$ can, under post-selection of the measured quantum system, exceed the largest eigenvalue of $A$. The nature of weak measurements, as well as the presence of post-selection and…
For proper lower semi-continuous functionals bounded below which do not increase upon polarization, an improved version of Ekeland's variational principle can be formulated in Banach spaces, which provides almost symmetric points.

We establish a pre-order principle. From the principle, we obtain a very general set-valued Ekeland variational principle, where the objective function is a set-valued map taking values in a quasi ordered linear space and the perturbation…
