On the structure of minimizers of causal variational principles in the non-compact and equivariant settings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for minimizers of causal variational principles in the non-compact setting with constraints, possibly prescribing symmetries.

Lagrangian description of the variational equations [PDF]

open access: yesChaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2003
A variant of the usual Lagrangian scheme is developed which describes both the equations of motion and the variational equations of a system. The required (prolonged) Lagrangian is defined in an extended configuration space comprising both the original configurations of the system and all the virtual displacements joining any two integral curves.

Variational Integrals of a Class of Nonhomogeneous 𝒜-Harmonic Equations

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We introduce a class of variational integrals whose Euler equations are nonhomogeneous 𝒜-harmonic equations. We investigate the relationship between the minimization problem and the Euler equation and give a simple proof of the existence of some ...

Noncommutative variations on Laplace’s equation [PDF]

open access: yesAnalysis & PDE, 2008
As a first step at developing a theory of noncommutative nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations, we analyze noncommutative analogues of Laplace's equation and its variants (some of the them nonlinear) over noncommutative tori. Along the way we prove noncommutative analogues of many results in classical analysis, such as Wiener's Theorem on ...

Variational quantum evolution equation solver

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
AbstractVariational quantum algorithms offer a promising new paradigm for solving partial differential equations on near-term quantum computers. Here, we propose a variational quantum algorithm for solving a general evolution equation through implicit time-stepping of the Laplacian operator.

Asymptotic Variational Wave Equations [PDF]

open access: yesArchive for Rational Mechanics and Analysis, 2006
The initial boundary value problem for the equation \((u_{t}+f(u)_{x})_{x}=\frac{1}{2}f''(u)u_{x}^2\) on \((0,T)\times \mathbb{R}^{+}\) is investigated. The authors prove that conservative solutions can be globally defined. Under non-degeneracy condition the conservative solution is unique.

Variational Methods for Nonsmooth Mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In this thesis we investigate nonsmooth classical and continuum mechanics and its discretizations by means of variational numerical and geometric methods.

A variational theory of the Hessian equation

open access: yesCommunications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2001
AbstractBy studying a negative gradient flow of certain Hessian functionals we establish the existence of critical points of the functionals and consequently the existence of ground states to a class of nonhomogenous Hessian equations. To achieve this we derive uniform, first‐ and second‐order a priori estimates for the elliptic and parabolic Hessian ...
