متن کاملVariational principles: summary and problems
2.1 Differentiability and first order conditions If a function f : R → R has partial derivatives ∂if(x) = limt→0 t−1(f(x + tei) − f(x)) which exist and are continuous on R, it is a C1(R) function, and is differentiable at every x in the sense that f(x + h) − f(x) −∇f(x) · h = o(‖h‖) as h → 0. This means it can be approximated linearly, and the derivative is the linear map on R given by Df(x)(h)...
متن کاملVariational Principles in Renormalization Theory
The variational principles introduced by Kadanoff et al in the renormahzatmn theory are analyzed. It is shown that the values for the specific heat critical exponent a which can be found by a variational method are restricted to a < 0 or t~ = 1 (first order transition). The reason is the confluence of the singularities in the free energy and in the variational parameters. A full implementation ...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Stellar Structure
The four equations of stellar structure are reformulated as two alternate pairs of variational principles. Different thermodynamic representations lead to the same hydromechanical equations, but the thermal equations require, not the entropy, but the temperature as the thermal field variable. Our treatment emphasizes the hydrostatic energy and the entropy production rate of luminosity produced ...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Water Waves
We describe the Hamiltonian structures, including the Poisson brackets and Hamiltonians, for free boundary problems for incompressible fluid flows with vorticity. The Hamiltonian structure is used to obtain variational principles for stationary gravity waves both for irrotational flows as well as flows with vorticity.
