About the naturality of Krasnoselskii genus on Variational Methods
I have recently watched a seminar about Variational Methods from Mónica Clapp and she gave a very interesting motivation of why the Lusternik–Schnirelmann category (click on the link for the ...

Question about the ''crater'' in mountain-pass theorem while reading a paper of solving mean-field equation by mountain-pass theorem
Actually, I'm reading a paper which finds the saddle point of a functional, of course the unbounded below energy functional will suggest a potential saddle, but the structure of mountain pass is the ...

Functional of fully nonlinear equations
Let $\left(\mathcal{M}, g_0\right)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold of dimension $n>2$ and denote by 'Ric' and $R$ respectively the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. The $k$-Yamabe problem is ...

A problem about how dominated convergence is used in the analysis of variation
I'm reading Existence of solutions to a higher dimensional mean-field equation on manifolds and get stuck on Lemma6. When $\lambda>\Lambda_1$, with $\Lambda_1=(2 m-1) ! \operatorname{vol}\left(S^{2 ...

$C^1$-regularity of solution of a Dirichlet problem
I've been stuck trying to hunt down a proof/reference for a certain regularity result which I need for my thesis (all the authors I've consulted refer to it as "well-known"). Consider the ...

A little problem in PDE or function analysis
Let
$E$ be the usual sobolev space $H^{1}_{0}(\Omega)$ on a smoothly bounded domain $\Omega$,
$E_{k}$ be its subspace spanned by the first $k$ eigenfunctions of the Laplace operator, i.e.
$$E_{k}:=\...

Is this space compactly contained in $L^p((0,\infty),rdr)$ for all $p\geq 2$?
Some Background: A typical problem in mathematical physics is the existence of positive radially symmetric solutions to a nonlinear Schrodinger type equation over $\mathbb{R}^{2+1}$. Such a problem ...

How to modify a $H^1$ weak convergence sequence so that I have the $L^2$ equi-integrability of gradient?
Assume $u_n\to u$ weakly in $H^1(\Omega)$ where $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^N$ is open bounded Lipschitz boundary.
My goal is to find a new sequence $\bar u_n$ and a new function $\bar u$ such that
$\...

Minimizing some $H^{-1}$ functional over (a subset of) probability densities in $R^d$
Let me consider the following subset of probability measures in $R^d$
$$
\mathcal{K}_M=\left\{0\leq u(x)\in L^1(R^d):\quad \int u(x)dx =1,\,\int|x|^2u(x)dx\leq M,\,\int u(x)|\log u(x)|dx\leq M\right\}
