We consider a class of functionals of the calculus of variations which are not strictly convex in the gradient of the function. When critical point theory is applied, this causes some troubles with the Palais-Smale condition, which we overcome using a suitable nonsmooth approach.

Abstract
We consider a class of functionals of the calculus of variations which are not strictly convex in the gradient of the function. When critical point theory is applied, this causes some troubles with the Palais-Smale condition, which we overcome using a suitable nonsmooth approach.File in questo prodotto:
