Abstract

By variational methods, we prove existence of planar closed curves with prescribed curvature for some classes of curvature functions. The main difficulty is to obtain bounded Palais-Smale sequences. This is achieved by adding a parameter in the problem and using a version of the "monotonicity trick" introduced by M. Struwe in 1988.
