Assuming instead such a uniform behavior within an open cone $Y \\subset X \\setminus \\{0\\}$, we show that $\\Phi$ has a ground state relative to $Y$. Some further conditions ensure that this relative ground state is the (absolute) ground state of $\\Phi$. Several applications to elliptic equations and systems are given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-11-15T19:40:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "elliptic problems", "uniform behavior", "open cone", "uniform geometry", "reflexive banach space" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
