Extract

This paper consists of two main parts. The first deals with a perturbative method in critical point theory and can be seen as the generalisation and completion of some earlier results. The second part is concerned with applications of the abstract setup to the existence of bound states of a class of elliptic differential equations that branch off from the infimum of the essential spectrum.
