Multiple critical points for a class of periodic lower semicontinuous functionals

Abstract / Introduction Related Papers Cited by
  • We deal with a class of functionals $I$ on a Banach space $X,$ having the structure $I=\Psi+\mathcal G,$ with $\Psi : X \to (- \infty , + \infty ]$ proper, convex, lower semicontinuous and $\mathcal G: X \to \mathbb{R} $ of class $C^1.$ Also, $I$ is $G$-invariant with respect to a discrete subgroup $G\subset X$ with $\mbox{dim (span}\ G)=N$. Under some appropriate additional assumptions we prove that $I$ has at least $N+1$ critical orbits. As a consequence, we obtain that the periodically perturbed $N$-dimensional relativistic pendulum equation has at least $N+1$ geometrically distinct periodic solutions.
