Ekeland's variational principle and the existence of critical points of dynamical systems, also known as multiobjective optimization, have been proved in the setting of locally complete spaces. In this article we prove that these two properties can be deduced one from the other under certain convexity conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
