Variational and penalization methods for studying connecting orbits of Hamiltonian systems

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2000
In this article, we consider a class of second order Hamiltonian systems that possess infinite or finite number of equilibria. Variational arguments will be used to study the existence of connecting orbits joining pairs of equilibria.

Calculus of Variations: Nature's Parsimonious Self-Computation

open access: yes, 2023
In addition to being intrinsically interesting, calculus of variations constitutes an area that has been extensively considered in both theoretic and applied areas, underlying a large number of structures and phenomena, including the stationary action ...

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Sobolev inequalities in 2-D hyperbolic space: A borderline case

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 1998
Sobolev inequalities in two-dimensional hyperbolic space are dealt with. Here is modeled on the upper Euclidean. half-plane equipped with the Poincaré–Bergman metric.

NVIS HF signal propagation in ionosphere using calculus of variations

open access: yesGeodesy and Geodynamics, 2019
Modeling Near Vertical Incidence Sounding (NVIS) High Frequency (HF) signal propagation in the ionosphere is important. Because, ionosondes which are special types of radars probing the ionosphere with certain HF frequencies (between 2 and 30 MHz), work ...

Automatic computation of conservation laws in the calculus of variations and optimal control

open access: yes, 2005
We present analytical computational tools that permit us to identify, in an automatic way, conservation laws in optimal control. The central result we use is the famous Noether's theorem, a classical theory developed by Emmy Noether in 1918, in the ...

A Calculus for Variational Programming.

open access: yes, 2016
Variation is ubiquitous in software. Many applications can benefit from making this variation explicit, then manipulating and computing with it directly---a technique we call "variational programming". This idea has been independently discovered in several application domains, such as efficiently analyzing and verifying software product lines ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

A Direct Approach to Shape Optimisation of Structures

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 1979
Shape optimisation of structures constitutes - mathematically a non-standard problem of the calculus of variations consisting in searching for the conditional extremum of a functional which does not possess, as a rule, a "localization property".

Solution of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1941
summary:Given a family of curves constituting the general solution of a system of ordinary differential equations, the natural question occurs whether the family is identical with the totality of all extremals of an appropriate variational problem ...
