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…

We formulate symmetric versions of classical variational principles. Within the framework of non-smooth critical point theory, we detect Palais-Smale sequences with additional second order and symmetry information. We discuss applications…

In this paper we introduce a group invariant version of the wellknown Ekeland variational principle. To achieve this, we defne the concept of convexity with respect to a group and establish a version of the theorem within this framework.…

We consider Borwein-Preiss and Ekeland variational principles using distance functions that neither is symmetric nor enjoy the triangular inequality. All the given results rely exclusively on the convergence and continuity behaviors induced…

In this paper, we obtain a version of Ekeland's variational principle for interval-value functions by means of the Dancs-Hegedus-Medvegyev theorem [14]. We also derive two versions of Ekeland's variational principle involving the…

In this paper, we present some implicit function theorems for set-valued mappings between Fr\'echet spaces. The proof relies on Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem and on Ekeland's variational principle. An application to the existence…

Motivated by the recent work on conditional risk measures, this paper studies the Ekeland's variational principle for a proper, lower semicontinuous and lower bounded $\bar{L}^{0}-$valued function, where $\bar{L}^{0}$ is the set of…

For a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) $F = 0$ admitting a local (point, contact, or higher) symmetry $X$ with the characteristic $\varphi$, invariant solutions satisfy the reduced system $F = \varphi = 0$. We propose a…

We study the variational principle and derivation of the field equations for different classes of teleparallel gravity theories, using both their metric-affine and covariant tetrad formulations. These theories have in common that in…

We prove a Noether type symmetry theorem to fractional problems of the calculus of variations with classical and Riemann-Liouville derivatives. As result, we obtain constants of motion (in the classical sense) that are valid along the mixed…

Starting from the classic contraction mapping principle, we establish a general, flexible, variational setting that turns out to be applicable to many situations of existence in Differential Equations. We show its potentiality with some…

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 paper, we derive a version of the Pontryagin maximum principle for general finite-dimensional nonlinear optimal sampled-data control problems. Our framework is actually much more general, and we treat optimal control problems for…

This paper derives some discrete maximum principles for $P1$-conforming finite element approximations for quasi-linear second order elliptic equations. The results are extensions of the classical maximum principles in the theory of partial…

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…
