A.H.Hamel proved the Ekeland's principle in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces by constructing the norm and applying the Ekeland's principle in Banach spaces. In this paper we show that the Ekeland's principle in a locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces can be proved directly by applying the famous general principle of H.Br$\acute{e}$zis and F.E.Browder.

In this paper, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions for systems driven by two non-local integrodifferential operators with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The main tools are the Saddle point theorem, Ekeland's variational principle and the Mountain pass theorem.

In this paper, a new Ekeland type variational principle on gauge spaces is established. As applications, we give Caristi-Kirk type fixed point theorems on gauge spaces, and Dane$\check{s}$' drop theorem on seminormed spaces. Also, we show that the Palais-Smale condition implies coercivity on semi-normed spaces.

In this paper we prove Ekeland's variational principle in the setting of locally complete spaces for lower semi continuous functions from above and bounded below. We use this theorem to prove Caristi's fixed point theorem in the same setting and also for lower semi continuous functions.

Three nontrivial nonnegative solutions for some critical quasilinear elliptic systems with lower-order negative perturbations are obtained by using the Ekeland's variational principle and the mountain pass theorem.

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlocal problems with indefinite weights in Orlicz-Sobolev space. Under some suitable conditions on the nonlinearities, we establish some existence results using variational techniques and Ekeland's variational principle.

This paper is concerned with the quasilinear $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ system $$(0.1)\;\{-{\Delta}u+a(x)u-{\Delta}(u^2)u=Fu(u,v)+h(x)\;x{\in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,\\-{\Delta}v+b(x)v-{\Delta}(v^2)v=Fv(u,v)+g(x)\;x{\in}{\mathbb{R}}^N,$$ where $N{\geq}3$. The potential functions $a(x),b(x){\in}L^{\infty}({\mathbb{R}}^N)$ are bounded in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. By using mountain pass theorem and the Ekeland variational principle, we prove that there are at least two solutions to system (0.1).

This paper is concerned with the following Kirchhoff-Schrödinger-Poisson system $$\begin{cases} -(a+b{\displaystyle\smashmargin{2}\int\nolimits_{\mathbb{R}^3}}{\mid}{\nabla}u{\mid}^2dx){\Delta}u+V(x)u+{\mu}{\phi}u={\lambda}f(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+g(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u,&{\text{ in }}{\mathbb{R}}^3,\\-{\Delta}{\phi}={\mu}{\mid}u{\mid}^2,&{\text{ in }}{\mathbb{R}}^3, \end{cases}$$ where a > 0, b, µ ≥ 0, p ∈ (1, 2), q ∈ [4, 6) and λ > 0 is a parameter. Under some suitable assumptions on V (x), f(x) and g(x), we prove that the above system has at least two different nontrivial solutions via the Ekeland's variational principle and the Mountain Pass Theorem in critical point theory. Some recent results from the literature are improved and extended.

In this paper, we introduce some approximate optimal solutions and an augmented Lagrangian function in nonlinear programming, establish dual function and dual problem based on the augmented Lagrangian function, discuss the relationship between the approximate optimal solutions of augmented Lagrangian problem and that of primal problem, obtain approximate KKT necessary optimality condition of the augmented Lagrangian problem, prove that the approximate stationary points of augmented Lagrangian problem converge to that of the original problem. Our results improve and generalize some known results.

We deal with the following elliptic equations: $\{-div({\varphi}^{\prime}(\left|{\nabla}z\right|^2){\nabla}z)+V(x)\left|z\right|^{{\alpha}-2}z={\lambda}{\rho}(x)\left|z\right|^{r-2}z+h(x,z),\\z(x){\rightarrow}0,\;as\;\left|x\right|{\rightarrow}{\infty},$ in ℝ^N , where N ≥ 2, 1 < p < q < N, 1 < α ≤ p^*q'/p', α < q, 1 < r < min{p, α}, φ(t) behaves like t^q/2 for small t and t^p/2 for large t, and p' and q' the conjugate exponents of p and q, respectively. Here, V : ℝ^N → (0, ∞) is a potential function and h : ℝ^N × ℝ → ℝ is a Carathéodory function. The present paper is devoted to the existence of at least two distinct nontrivial solutions to quasilinear elliptic problems of Schrödinger type, which provides a concave-convex nature to the problem. The primary tools are the well-known mountain pass theorem and a variant of Ekeland's variational principle.
