Examples of Applications of Potential Functions in Problem Solving (Web Appendix to the Paper)

چکیده
Potential functions may be exploited to formulate various phenomena. This is particularly of interest because it offers a unified notion for problem solving and for developing control strategies. Moreover, many problems involving vector variables can be conveniently solved using the notion of potential. In this approach, vector variables are replaced with scalar variables, which are easier and less time-consuming to deal with. In this section, example applications of potential functions in engineering are described.
