Abstract

Two kinds of Palais-Smale condition, $(PS)_c$ and $(PS)^*_c$, for nondifferentiable functionals are studied. It is shown that $(PS)_c$ implies $(PS)^*_c$ and that they are equivalent for convex functionals. This points out a gap in the proof of Costa and Goncalves [5, Proposition 3]. Some other nonsmooth versions of known smooth results are also obtained.
