A 2005 guide to solving non-linear problems, using simple exposition and easy proofs.
Review of the hardback: '… presents an introduction to critical point theory addressed to students with a modest background in Lebesgue integration and linear functional analysis. Many important methods from nonlinear analysis are introduced in a problem oriented way … well written … should be present in the library of any researcher interested in Lévy processes and Lie groups.'
