Theorem 1 of [14], a minimax result for functions $f:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, where $Y$ is a real interval, was partially extended to the case where $Y$ is a convex set in a Hausdorff topological vector space ([15], Theorem 3.2). In doing that, a key tool was a partial extension of the same result to the case where $Y$ is a convex set in ${\bf R}^n$ ([7], Theorem 4.2). In the present paper, we first obtain a full extension of the result in [14] by means of a new proof fully based on the use of…

Another multiplicity result for the periodic solutions of certain systems
In this paper, we deal with a problem of the type $$\cases{(\phi(u'))'=\nabla_xF(t,u) & in [0,T]\cr & \cr u(0)=u(T)\ , \hskip 3pt u'(0)=u'(T)\ ,\cr}$$ where, in particular, $\phi$ is a

Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let $X, Y$ be two convex sets each in a real vector space, let $J:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$ be convex and without global minima in $X$ and concave in
An Invitation to the Study of a Uniqueness Problem
In this very short paper, we provide a strong motivation for the study of the following problem: given a real normed space $E$, a closed, convex, unbounded set $X\subseteq E$ and a function $f:X\to A remark on variational inequalities in small balls • B.

In this paper, we establish two minimax theorems for functions $f:X\times I\to {\bf R}$, where $I$ is a real interval, without assuming that $f(x,\cdot)$ is quasi-concave. Also, some related
Miscellaneous applications of certain minimax theorems. I
Here is one of the results of this paper (with the convention ${{1}\over {0}}=+\infty$): Let $X$ be a real Hilbert space and let $J:X\to {\bf R}$ be a $C^1$ functional, with compact derivative, such

In this work, we characterize the existence of a solution for a certain variational inequality by means of a classical minimax theorem. In addition, we propose a numerical algorithm for the solution
On the Generalization of a Multiplicity Result
In this work, we shifted a recent multiplicity result by B. Ricceri from a Hilbert space to a Banach space setting by making use of a duality mapping relative to some increasing function. Using the

A strict minimax inequality criterion and some of its consequences
In this paper, we point out a very flexible scheme within which a strict minimax inequality occurs. We then show the fruitfulness of this approach presenting a series of various consequences. Here is
Well-posedness of constrained minimization problems via saddle-points
A very general well-posedness result is proved for a class of constrained minimization problems of which the following is a particular case: Let X be a Hausdorff topological space and J, Phi: X be two non-constant functions such that J has sequentially compact sub-level sets and admits a unique global minimum in X.

Nonlinear fredholm maps of index zero and their singularities
Let F: X -* Y be a C I Fredholm map of index zero between two Banach spaces. Defining the singular set B = (xlF'(x) is not suijective}, we study the local and global effect of B on the map F. In
