On the Mountain-pass algorithm for the quasi-linear Schrodinger equation

Christopher Grumiau, Marco Squassina, Christophe Troestler

We discuss the application of the Mountain Pass algorithm to the so-called quasi-linear Schrodinger equation, which is naturally associated with a class of nonsmooth functionals so that the classical algorithm is not directly applicable.

Convergence of a mountain pass type algorithm for strongly indefinite problems and systems

Christopher Grumiau, Christophe Troestler

For a functional $\E$ and a peak selection that picks up a global maximum of $\E$ on varying cones, we study the convergence up to a subsequence to a critical point of the sequence generated by a mountain pass type algorithm. Moreover, by carefully choosing stepsizes, we establish the convergence of the whole sequence under a "localization" assumption on the critical point. We illustrate our results with two problems: an indefinite Schrödinger equation and a superlinear Schrödinger system.
