THE EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR OPERATOR EQUATIONS

Abstract. We provide the existence results for a nonlinear operator equation Λ∗Φ ′ (Λx) = F ′ (x), in case F − Φ is not necessarily convex. We introduce the dual variational method which is based on finding global minima of primal and dual action functionals on certain nonlinear subsets of their domains and on investigating relations between the minima obtained. The solution is a limit of a minimizng sequence whose existence and convergence are proved. The application for the non-convex Dirichlet problem with P.D.E. is given
