A Generalized Variational Principle
We prove a strong variant of the Borwein-Preiss variational principle, and show that on Asplund spaces, Stegall's variational principle follows from it via a generalized Smulyan test. Applications are discussed.

On the Ekeland variational principle [PDF]
For proper lower semicontinuous functionals bounded from below which do not increase upon polarization, an improved version of Ekeland’s variational principle can be formulated in Banach spaces, which provides almost symmetric ...

The strong Ekeland variational principle
In this paper, we consider the strong Ekeland variational principle due to Georgiev [P.G. Georgiev, The strong Ekeland variational principle, the strong drop theorem and applications, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 131 (1988) 1–21].

Gyarmati’s Variational Principle of Dissipative Processes
Like in mechanics and electrodynamics, the fundamental laws of the thermodynamics of dissipative processes can be compressed into Gyarmati’s variational principle. This variational principle both in its differential (local) and in integral (global) forms

An Ekeland’s variational principle for set-valued mappings with applications
In this paper, we obtain a general Ekeland’s variational principle for set-valued mappings in complete metric space, which is different from those in [G.Y. Chen, X.X.

$${\mathcal {A}}$$-Variational Principles
AbstractThough the $${\mathcal {A}}$$ A -quasiconvexity condition has been fully explored since its introduction, no explicit examples of associated variational principles have been considered except in the classical $${\text {curl}}$$ curl -case. Our aim is to propose such a family of

The uncertainty principle: Variations on a theme [PDF]
We show how a number of well-known uncertainty principles for the Fourier transform, such as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, the Donoho–Stark uncertainty principle, and Meshulam’s nonabelian uncertainty principle, have little to do with the structure of the Fourier transform itself.

Variational Principles of Micromagnetics Revisited [PDF]
We revisit the basic variational formulation of the minimization problem associated with the micromagnetic energy, with an emphasis on the treatment of the stray field contribution to the energy, which is intrinsically non-local. Under minimal assumptions, we establish three distinct variational principles for the stray field energy: a minimax ...
