Ekeland variational principle in the variable exponent sequence spaces lp(·)

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the modular version of the Ekeland variational principle (EVP) in the context of variable exponent sequence spaces lp(·). The core obstacle in the development of a modular version of the EVP is the failure of the triangle inequality for the module. It is the lack of this inequality, which is indispensable in the establishment of the classical EVP, that has hitherto prevented a successful treatment of the modular case. As an application, we establish a modular version of Caristi's fixed point theorem in lp(·).
