We prove new multiplicity results for the Brezis-Nirenberg problem for the $p$-Laplacian. Our proofs are based on a new abstract critical point theorem involving the ${\mathbb Z}_2$-cohomological index that requires less compactness than…

We construct a Lipschitz function on $\er^{2}$ which is locally convex on the complement of some totally disconnected compact set but not convex. Existence of such function disproves a theorem that appeared in a paper by L. Pasqualini and…

We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…

We consider a semilinear elliptic equation with a nonsmooth, locally \hbox{Lipschitz} potential function (hemivariational inequality). Our hypotheses permit double resonance at infinity and at zero (double-double resonance situation). Our…

Firstly,we generalize the classical Palais-Smale-Cerami condition for $C^1$ functional to the local Lipschitz case,then generalize the famous Benci-Rabinowitz's and Rabinowitz's Saddle Point Theorems with classical Cerami-Palais-Smale…

This article establishes a low-regularity Riemannian positive mass theorem for non-spin manifolds whose metrics are only $C^0 \cap W_{\mathrm{loc}}^{1,n}$ and smooth outside a compact set. The main theorem asserts that asymptotically flat…

In this paper, we revisit the Mordukhovich's subdifferential criterion for Lipschitz continuity of nonsmooth functions and coderivative criterion for the Aubin/Lipschitz-like property of set-valued mappings in finite dimensions. The…
