Keywords:
critical points; noncoercive and nondifferentiable functionals; bifurcation \break points
Summary:
In this paper we study the existence of critical points for noncoercive functionals, whose principal part has a degenerate coerciveness. A bifurcation result at zero for the associated differential operator is established.
