In the paper we show that critical sequences associated with the mountain pass level for semilinear elliptic problems on $\R^N$ converge when the non-linearity is subcritical, superlinear and satisfies the penalty condition…
Computing mountain passes is a standard way of finding critical points. We describe a numerical method for finding critical points that is convergent in the nonsmooth case and locally superlinearly convergent in the smooth finite…
We put forward a proposal for topological quantum critical points (tQCPs) separating non-invertible chiral topological orders in $(2+1)$ dimensions. We conjecture that these tQCPs can be captured by a family of scale-invariant field…
