An estimate on the relative Morse index for strongly indefinite functionals

A. Abbondandolo, P. Felmer, & J. Molina

Abstract:
We extend the Benci and Rabinowitz linking theorem to strongly indefinite functionals satisfying the Palais-Smale condition. More precisely, we show an upper estimate for a relative Morse index of critical points.
