Title: Variational methods in nonlinear elliptic problems

Abstract: We discuss variational approach to nonlinear elliptic equations on bounded and unbounded domains. In particular, we prove existence, positivity and in some cases radial symmetry of the ground-state solutions. Topics include: Sobolev and Poincare inequalities, Rellich-Kondrachov theorem, Pohozaev identity, constrained minimization.
