Compatible finite element methods for numerical weather prediction [PDF]
, 2014 This article takes the form of a tutorial on the use of a particular class of mixed finite element methods, which can be thought of as the finite element extension of the C-grid staggered finite difference method.

Optimizing Control of a Batch Reaction Process [PDF]
, 1966 The batch chemical reaction is chosen as the process model to be optimized and the rate constants are functions of pressure only, as the reactions are assumed to occur isothermally.

A survey on fractional variational calculus
, 2018 Main results and techniques of the fractional calculus of variations are surveyed. We consider variational problems containing Caputo derivatives and study them using both indirect and direct methods.

Is the Regge Calculus a consistent approximation to General Relativity?
, 2011 We will ask the question of whether or not the Regge calculus (and two related simplicial formulations) is a consistent approximation to General Relativity.

Calculus of Variations with Classical and Fractional Derivatives [PDF]
, 2012 We give a proper fractional extension of the classical calculus of variations. Necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for variational problems containing both classical and fractional derivatives are proved. The fundamental problem of the

Shape optimization of pressurized air bearings [PDF]
, 2002 Use of externally pressurized air bearings allows for the design of mechanical systems requiring extreme precision in positioning. One application is the fine control for the positioning of mirrors in large-scale optical telescopes.

Backward variational approach on time scales with an action depending on the free endpoints
, 2011 We establish necessary optimality conditions for variational problems with an action depending on the free endpoints. New transversality conditions are also obtained.

The Generalized Fractional Calculus of Variations
, 2014 We review the recent generalized fractional calculus of variations. We consider variational problems containing generalized fractional integrals and derivatives and study them using indirect methods.
