Castro, Alfonso A perspective on the contributions of Alan C. Lazer to critical point theory. (English) Zbl 1055.58005 Electron. J. Differ. Equ. 2000, Conf. 05, 13-19 (2000). Summary: Over the last thirty five years Professor Alan C. Lazer has been a leading figure in the development of min-max methods and critical point theory for applications to partial differential equations. The author, his former student, summarizes from his own perspective Professor Lazer’s contributions to the subject.
