Nonconforming finite-element discretization of convex variational problems [PDF]
The Lavrentiev gap phenomenon is a well-known effect in the calculus of variations, related to singularities of minimizers. In its presence, conforming finite-element methods are incapable of reaching the energy minimum.

Variational schemes in the Fokker - Planck equation [PDF]
We investigate variational methods for finding approximate solutions to the Fokker-Planck equation, especially in cases lacking detailed balance. These schemes fall into two classes: those in which a Hermitian operator is constructed from the (non-Hermitian) Fokker-Planck operator, and those which are based on soluble approximations to this operator ...

Optimal solution error covariance in highly nonlinear problems of variational data assimilation [PDF]
The problem of variational data assimilation for a nonlinear evolution model is formulated as an optimal control problem (see, e.g.[1]) to find the initial condition, boundary conditions or model parameters.

Variational Methods in Surface Parameterization [PDF]
A surface parameterization is a function that maps coordinates in a 2-dimensional parameter space to points on a surface. This thesis investigates two kinds of parameterizations for surfaces that are disc-like in shape.

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review
ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

Exact analytical solution of tempered fractional heat-like (diffusion) equations by the modified variational iteration method [PDF]
This paper introduces a modified version of the Variational Iteration Method, incorporating $\mathbb{P}$-transformation. We propose a novel semi-analytical technique named the modified variational iteration method for addressing fractional ...
