Abstract

We study those nonlinear partial differential equations which appear as Euler-Lagrange equations of variational problems. On defining weak boundary values of solutions to such equations we initiate the theory of Lagrangian boundary value problems in spaces of appropriate smoothness. We also analyse if the concept of mapping degree of current importance applies to Lagrangian problems

A Degree Theory for Lagrangian Boundary Value Problems

Received 08.05.2019, received in revised form 06.09.2019, accepted 06.11.2019 Abstract. We study those nonlinear partial differential equations which appear as Euler-Lagrange equations of variational problems. On defining weak boundary values of solutions to such equations we initiate the theory of Lagrangian boundary value problems in spaces of appropriate smoothness. We analyse if the concept of mapping degree of current importance applies to Lagrangian problems.
