چکیده
The calculus of variations for lagrangians which are not functions on the tangent bundle, but sections certain affine bundles is developed. We follow a general approach to variational principles which admits boundary terms of variations. MSC 2000: 70G45, 70H03, 70H05

An 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 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 کاملJ. F. Ganghoffer DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY, LEAST ACTION PRINCIPLES AND IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
Abstract. This contribution is intended as both a course on differential geometry and an illustration of the involvement of differential geometry in the calculus of variations, in articulation with the occurrence of irreversibility. Potential applications in terms of the continuous symmetries of the constitutive laws of dissipative materials shall be mentionned, leading potentially to a systema...
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...
متن کاملDifferential geometry of curves and surfaces
These are two books that together in a pair are intended to bring the reader through classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces into the modern differential geometry of manifolds. The first book, Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, by Thomas Banchoff and Stephen Lovett, offers a complete guide for the study of classical theory of curves and surfaces and is intended as a te...
