Abstract

In the paper we show that critical sequences associated with the mountain pass level for semilinear elliptic problems on N converge when the non-linearity is subcritical, superlinear and satisfies the penalty condition F∞(s)<F(x,s). The proof suggests a concentration compactness framework for minimax problems, similar to that of P.-L.Lions for constrained minima.
