Un principe variationnel est introduit pour fournir une nouvelle formulation et résolution de nombreux problèmes aux limites avec structure variationnelle. Ce principe permet de considérer des problèmes bien au-delà de la structure faiblement compacte. Ainsi, nous étudions de nombreux probèmes elliptiques semilinéaires supercritiques.

A variational principle is introduced to provide a new formulation and resolution for several boundary value problems with a variational structure. This principle allows one to deal with problems well beyond the weakly compact structure. As a result, we study several super-critical semilinear Elliptic problems.
