We discuss a critical point theorem based on the linking of two sets. We consider the situation in which neither set is contained in a finite-dimensional manifold. In order to do so, we require the derivative of the functional to have weak-to-weak continuity. An application is given.

## Abstract Let __E__ be a Banach space and Ξ¦ : __E__ β β a π^1^βfunctional. Let π« be a family of semiβnorms on __E__ which separates points and generates a (possibly nonβmetrizable) topology π―~π«~ on __E__ weaker than the norm topology. This is a special case of a gage space, that is, a topological
In this paper we study the existence of critical points of the functional where 0 # R d , d 2 is a bounded domain with C 3 boundary, u # H 1 (0), and = is a small parameter. On the nonlinearity F we assume: ). Additionally we require that there exists q>1 such that for u>0 the function F$(u)Γu q i
