A general backwards calculus of variations via duality
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove Euler-Lagrange and natural boundary necessary optimality conditions for problems of the calculus of variations which are given by a composition of nabla integrals on an arbitrary time scale. As an application, we get optimality conditions for the product and the quotient of nabla variational functionals.

A posteriori error estimation for variational problems with uniformly convex functionals
The objective of this paper is to introduce a general scheme for deriving a posteriori error estimates by using duality theory of the calculus of variations. We consider variational problems of the form inf v∈V {F (v) +G(Λv)}, where F : V → R is a convex lower semicontinuous functional, G : Y → R is a uniformly convex functional, V and Y are reflexive Banach spaces, and Λ : V → Y is a bounded l...
متن کاملNumerical solution of variational problems via Haar wavelet quasilinearization technique
In this paper, a numerical solution based on Haar wavelet quasilinearization (HWQ) is used for finding the solution of nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations which arise from the problems in calculus of variations. Some examples of variational problems are given and outcomes compared with exact solutions to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
متن کاملA General Duality Principle for the Sum of Two Operators
A general abstract duality result is proposed for equations which are governed by the sum of two operators (possibly multivalued). It allows to unify a large number of variational duality principles, including the Clarke-Ekeland least dual action principle and the Singer-Toland duality. Moreover, it offers a new duality approach to some central questions in the theory of variational inequalitie...
متن کاملAn analytic study on the Euler-Lagrange equation arising in calculus of variations
The Euler-Lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. This paper employs the differential transformation method (DTM) for finding the solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. DTM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. S...
متن کاملNON-POLYNOMIAL SPLINE FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF PROBLEMS IN CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS
A Class of new methods based on a septic non-polynomial spline function for the numerical solution of problems in calculus of variations is presented. The local truncation errors and the methods of order 2th, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th, are obtained. The inverse of some band matrixes are obtained which are required in proving the convergence analysis of the presented method. Convergence anal...
