We consider manifolds $M^{2n}$ which admit smooth maps into a connected sum of $S^1\times S^n$ with only finitely many critical points, for $n\in\{2,4,8\}$, and compute the minimal number of critical points.
We show that a continuous map or a continuous flow on $\R^{n}$ with a certain recurrence relation must have a fixed point. Specifically, if there is a compact set W with the property that the forward orbit of every point in $\R^{n}$…

In this paper, we consider the nodal set of a bi-harmonic function $u$ on an $n$ dimensional $C^{\infty}$ Riemannian manifold $M$, that is, $u$ satisfies the equation $\triangle_M^2u=0$ on $M$, where $\triangle_M$ is the Laplacian operator…
f-Biharmonic maps are the extrema of the f-bienergy functional. f-biharmonic submanifolds are submanifolds whose defining isometric immersions are f-biharmonic maps. In this paper, we prove that an f-biharmonic map from a compact Riemannian…
We prove full boundary regularity for minimizing biharmonic maps with smooth Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our result, similarly as in the case of harmonic maps, is based on the nonexistence of nonconstant boundary tangent maps. With the…
In this paper, we mainly investigate the critical points associated to solutions $u$ of a quasilinear elliptic equation with nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions in a connected domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Based on the fine…
The aim of this paper is investigating the existence of one or more critical points of a family of functionals which generalizes the model problem \[ \bar J(u)\ =\ \frac1p\ \int_\Omega \bar A(x,u)|\nabla u|^p dx - \int_\Omega G(x,u) dx \]…
