We consider the functional $$F_\infty(u)=\int_{\Omega}f(x,u(x),\nabla u(x)) dx \quad\quad u\in \varphi+ W_0^{1,\infty}(\Omega,\mathbb{R})$$ where $\Omega$ is an open bounded Lipschitz subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ and $\varphi\in…
Two normal functionals on a JBW$^*$-triple are known to be orthogonal if and only if they are $L$-orthogonal (meaning that they span an isometric copy of $\ell_1(2)$). This is shown to be stable under small norm perturbations in the…
