This kind of problem models, for example, several physical phenomena in quantum mechanics. Initially, by minimization arguments, Splitting Lemma and the Variational Principle of Ekeland we find a weak solution that minimizes the minimum energy level associated to the variety of Nehari N. This is the so-called ground state solution. Afterwards we will find, by using the Linking Theorem, a strictly positive weak solution which is not a ground state solution: the so-called bound state solution. / Nesta dissertação, estudaremos a existência de dois tipos de soluções fracas não negativas para uma classe de problemas do tipo Schrödinger-Poisson, os quais modelam fenômenos físicos, por exemplo, em Mecânica Quântica. Inicialmente, encontraremos através de argumentos de minimização, do Lema Splitting e do Princípio Variacional de Ekeland, uma solução fraca que minimiza o nível de energia mínima associado a variedade de Nehari N. Tal solução é denominada do tipo ground state. Em seguida, encontraremos através do Teorema de Linking, uma solução fraca estritamente positiva que não é do tipo ground state. Tal solução é denominada do tipo bound state.

Le principe de contraction de Banach, qui garantit l'existence d'un point fixe d'une contraction d'un espace métrique complet à valeur dans lui-même, est certainement le plus connu des théorèmes de point fixe. Dans plusieurs situations concrètes, nous sommes cependant amenés à considérer une contraction qui n'est définie que sur un sous-ensemble de cet espace. Afin de garantir l'existence d'un point fixe, nous verrons que d'autres hypothèses sont évidemment nécessaires. Le théorème de Caristi, qui garantit l'existence d'un point fixe d'une fonction d'un espace métrique complet à valeur dans lui-même et respectant une condition particulière sur d(x,f(x)), a plus tard été généralisé aux fonctions multivoques. Nous énoncerons des théorèmes de point fixe pour des fonctions multivoques définies sur un sous-ensemble d'un espace métrique grâce, entre autres, à l'introduction de notions de fonctions entrantes. Cette piste de recherche s'inscrit dans les travaux très récents de mathématiciens français et polonais. Nous avons obtenu des généralisations aux espaces de Fréchet et aux espaces de jauge de quelques théorèmes, dont les théorèmes de Caristi et le principe variationnel d'Ekeland. Nous avons également généralisé des théorèmes de point fixe pour des fonctions qui sont définies sur un sous-ensemble d'un espace de Fréchet ou de jauge. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à de nouveaux types de contractions; les contractions sur les espaces de Fréchet introduites par Cain et Nashed [CaNa] en 1971 et les contractions généralisées sur les espaces de jauge introduites par Frigon [Fr] en 2000. / The Banach contraction principle, which certifies that a contraction of a complete metric space into itself has a fixed point, is for sure the most famous of all fixed point theorems. However, in many case, the contraction we consider is only defined on a subset of a complete metric space. Of course, to certify that such a contraction has a fixed point, we need to add some restrictions. The Caristi theorem, which certifies the existence of a fixed point of a function of a complete metric space into itself satisfying a particular condition on d(x,f(x)), was later generalized to multivalued functions. By introducing different types of inwardness assumptions, we will be able to state some fixed point theorems for multivalued functions defined on a subset of a metric space. This is related to the recent work of French and Polish mathematicians. We were able to generalize some theorems to Fréchet spaces and gauge spaces such as the Caristi theorems and the Ekeland variational principle.

In dieser Arbeit beweisen wir für Optimierungsprobleme in L0-Moduln relevante Resultate und untersuchen Anwendungen für die Darstellung von Präferenzen. Im ersten Kapitel geht es um quasikonkave, monotone und lokale Funktionen von einem L0-Modul X nach L0, die wir robust darstellen. Im zweiten Kapitel entwickeln wir das Ekeland’sche Variationsprinzip für L0-Moduln, die eine L0-Metrik besitzen. Wir beweisen eine L0 -Variante einer Verallgemeinerung des Ekeland’schen Theorems. Der Beweis des Brouwerschen Fixpunktsatzes für Funktionen, die auf (L0)^d definiert sind, wird in Kapitel 3 behandelt. Wir definieren das Konzept des Simplexes in (L0)^d und beweisen, dass jede lokale, folgenstetige Funktion darauf einen Fixpunkt besitzt. Dies nutzen wir, um den Fixpunktsatz auch für Funktionen auf beliebigen abgeschlossenen, L0 -konvexen Mengen zu zeigen. Eine allgemeinere Struktur als L0 ist die bedingte Menge. Im vierten Kapitel behandeln wir bedingte topologische Vektorräume. Wir führen das Konzept der Dualität für bedingte Mengen ein und beweisen Theoreme der Funktionalanalysis darauf, unter anderem das Theorem von Banach-Alaoglu und Krein-Šmulian. Im fünften Kapitel widmen wir uns der Darstellung mit wandernden konvexen Mengen. Wir zeigen danach, wie die Transitivität für diese Darstellungsform beschrieben werden kann. Abschließend modellieren wir die Eigenschaft, dass die Transitivität einer Relation nur für ähnliche Elemente gesichert ist und diskutieren Arten der Darstellung solcher Relationen. / In this thesis, we prove results relevant for optimization problems in L0-modules and study applications to order theory. The first part deals with the notion of an Assessment Index (AI). For an L0 -module X an AI is a quasiconcave, monotone and local function mapping to L0. We prove a robust representation of these AIs. In the second chapter of this thesis, we develop Ekeland’s variational principle for L0-modules allowing for an L0-metric. We prove an L0-Version of a generalization of Ekeland’s theorem. A further application of L0 -theory is examined in the third chapter of this thesis, namely an extension of the Brouwer fixed point theorem to functions on (L0)^d . We define a conditional simplex, which is a simplex with respect to L0 , and prove that every local, sequentially continuous function has a fixed point. We extend the fixed point theorem to arbitrary closed, L0-convex sets. A more general structure than L0 -modules is the concept of conditional sets. In the fourth chapter of the thesis, we study conditional topological vector spaces. We examine the concept of duality for conditional sets and prove results of functional analysis: among others, the Banach-Alaoglu and the Krein-Šmulian theorem. Any L0 -module being a conditional set allows to apply all results to L0 -theory. In the fifth chapter, we discuss the property of transitivity of relations and its connection to certain forms of representations. After a survey of common representations of preferences, we attend to relations induced by moving convex sets which are relations of the form that x is preferred to y if and only if x − y is in a convex set depending on y. We examine in which cases such a representation is transitive. Finally, we exhibit nontransitivity due to dissimilarity of the compared object and discuss representations for relations of that type.
