On theory and numerical methods for finding multiple critical points with applications to semilinear PDE /

Almost all minimax theorems in critical point theory focus only on the existence issue. They require a two-level global optimization and therefore it is almost impossible to implement them as numerical methods. In this thesis, motivated by the Mountain Pass Lemma and its variants, we propose a new m...
