Nonsmooth Critical Point Theory

1999
The aim of this chapter is to present general results, many of them belonging to the authors, that can be applied to locally Lipschitz functionals, possibly invariant under a compact Lie group of linear isometries. The nonsmooth critical point theory in the locally Lipschitz case originates in the work of Chang [4].

The critical point and scaling theory

Physica, 1974
Abstract The origin and physical meaning of the scaling and homogeneity hypotheses in the theory of equilibrium critical phenomena are discussed. The purely thermodynamic critical-point exponent relations, and those that also involve the coherence length, are first derived from separate and apparently unrelated hypotheses.

The Classical Theory of Critical Points

1994
The various methods available for expressing the criteria for a critical point are developed and their equivalence is demonstrated. Some are shown to be more convenient for use than others, especially when dealing with multi-component mixtures. The equations most often used in calculating the critical points in pure fluids or in binary mixtures ...

Topics on critical point theory

2008
Many questions in mathematics and physics can be reduced to the problem of finding and classifying the critical points of a suitable functional on an appropriate manifold. In this thesis, we will be concerned with the problems of existence, location and structure of critical points by building upon the well known min-max methods that are presently used
