A variational principle for nonlinear transport equations
We verify -after appropriate modificationsan old conjecture of Brezis-Ekeland [3] concerning the feasibility of a global and variational approach to the problems of existence and uniqueness of solutions of non-linear transport equations, which do not normally fit in an Euler-Lagrange framework. Our method is based on a concept of “anti-self duality” that seems to be inherent in many problems, i...
متن کامل$(varphi_1, varphi_2)$-variational principle
In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle, J. Ma...
متن کاملPFC / JA - 82 - 29 Lagrangian Formulation of Transport Theory : Like - Particle Collisional Transport and Variational Principle
A general formulation of transport theory, specifically treating like-particle collisions, is developed for non-symmetric geometries, using the Lagrangian picture. This theory provides a particularly simple method for calculating transport coefficients which is useful for devices such as stellarators and tandem mirrors. We prove that the explicit piece of the transport coefficient, processes su...
متن کاملMaximal potential energy transport: a variational principle for solidification problems.
We analyze numerically the mechanisms controlling the spacing of chimneys--channels devoid of solid--in two-dimensional mushy layers formed by solidifying a binary alloy. Chimneys are the principal conduits through which buoyancy effects material transport out of the mushy layer and into the liquid from which it formed. Experiments show a coarsening of chimney spacing; we pursue the hypothesis ...
متن کاملVariational Principle and Plane Wave Propagation in Thermoelastic Medium with Double Porosity Under Lord-Shulman Theory
The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...
