Relative Entropy and Variational Properties of Generalized Gibbsian Measures [PDF]
, 2004 We study the relative entropy density for generalized Gibbs measures. We first show its existence and obtain a familiar expression in terms of entropy and relative energy for a class of “almost Gibbsian measures” (almost sure continuity of conditional ...

Variational principles and variational—iterative principles for a class of problems
Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1981 AbstractComplementary variational principles are developed for linear equations in a function space and a variational-iterative scheme, based on these principles, is introduced for non-linear equations.

Variational Principles for Consolidation
Soils and Foundations, 1971 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to derive, as a basis of the finite element method, a generalized variational principle for consolidation under the following assumptions: Soil is inhomogeneous, anisotropically elastic with respect to effective stress, and saturated by incompressible water; deformation of soil does not depend on pore water ...

Variational Time Integrators in Computational Solid Mechanics [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis develops the theory and implementation of variational integrators for computational solid mechanics problems, and to some extent, for fluid mechanics problems as well.

Variational Methods in Surface Parameterization [PDF]
, 2005 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.

Hamilton-Pontryagin Integrators on Lie Groups [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis structure-preserving time integrators for mechanical systems whose configuration space is a Lie group are derived from a Hamilton-Pontryagin (HP) variational principle.

A Variational Principle in Krein Space [PDF]
Transactions of the American Mathematical Society, 1994 A variational characterization, involving a max-inf of the Rayleigh quotient, is established for certain eigenvalues of a wide class of definitizable selfadjoint operators Q in a Krein space.

Variational semi-blind sparse deconvolution with orthogonal kernel bases and its application to MRFM [PDF]
, 2014 We present a variational Bayesian method of joint image reconstruction and point spread function (PSF) estimation when the PSF of the imaging device is only partially known.
