302 Gordon Palmer HallMINIMIZATION METHODS AND EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS The purpose of this lecture is to demonstrate the power of variational methods in the study of nonlinear partial differential equations to people working in other field of mathematics. The equations considered here are variational, namely there is an energy functional defined on certain Sobolev spaces, whose

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesEvery Calculus student is familiar with the classical Rolle’s theorem stating that if a real polynomial p satisfies p(−1) = p(1), then it has a critical point in (−1, 1). In 1934, L. Tschakaloff strengthened this result by finding a minimal interval, contained in (−1, 1), that holds a critical point of every real polynomial
