A variational formulation of kinematic waves: Solution methods

A Variable Formulation of Kinematic Waves: Solution Methods

This paper presents improved solution methods for kinematic wave traffic problems with concave flow-density relations. As explained in part I of this work, the solution of a kinematic wave problem is a set of continuum least-cost paths in space-time. The least cost to reach a point is the vehicle number. The idea here consists in overlaying a dense but discrete network with appropriate costs in...

Variational Formulation of Problems and Variational Methods

Time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation: formulation and solution using variational methods

This paper presents the formulation of time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation using the Euler-Lagrange variational technique in the Riesz derivative sense and derives an approximate solitary wave solution. Our results witness that He’s variational iteration method was very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solution of the proposed equation. The basic idea described in this paper is...

Solution Methods for Multivalued Variational Inequalities

Variational inequalities represent very useful and powerful tools for investigation and solution of many equilibrium type problems arising in Economics, Engineering, Operations Research and Mathematical Physics. The talk is devoted to several rather new approaches from [1]–[5] to construction of solution methods for variational inequalities with multi-valued cost mappings. We recall that the pr...

A Survey of Direct Methods for Solving Variational Problems

This study presents a comparative survey of direct methods for solving Variational Problems. Thisproblems can be used to solve various differential equations in physics and chemistry like RateEquation for a chemical reaction. There are procedures that any type of a differential equation isconvertible to a variational problem. Therefore finding the solution of a differential equation isequivalen...
