Abstract

In the present paper the concept and properties of the residual functional in Sobolev space are investigated. The weak compactness, force condition, lower semi-continuity and convex of the residual functional are proved. In Sobolev space, the minimum principle of the residual functional is proposed. The minimum existence theoreom for J(u)=0 is given by the modern critical point theory. And the equivalence theorem or five equivalence forms for the residual functional equation are also proved.
