โฆ Synopsis
The usual notion of a saddle functional in the calculus of variations assumes a , vex/concave structure over the product space of two inner product spaces. Here the idea~ extended to include some convexity in both spaces whilst still retaining an overall saddle property. Dual extremum principles are established for these functionals. Examples include periodic solutions of Duffing's equation, an iterative scheme and a pair of simultaneous partial differential equations which arise in magnetohydrodynamics. (1980). 49H05, 49D10.

We consider the integral functional of the calculus of variations where f : R nN โ R satisfies f (z) = g(|z|) and g is an N-function with subquadratic p-q growth. We prove that minimizers u : โฆ โ R n โ R N of such a functional are locally Lipschitz continuous, provided g verifies some additional co
