DG-MP-PDE Seminar: Revisiting an idea of Brezis and Nirenberg
August 5, 2010
University of British Columbia
Usually, a nonlinear functional involving the Sobolev exponent does not satisfy the Palais-Smale condition. However, Brezis and Nirenberg showed that under a threshold , the minimax value is in fact a critical value. In this talk, we should extend...
