Variational Principles of Physics and the Infinite Ramsey Theory
Physica ScriptaApplication of the Ramsey Infinite Theorem to the variational principles of physics is discussed. According to the Ramsey Infinite Theorem,there exists the infinite, monochromatic chain of the pathways (clique), which are completely built from actual or ...

Thermomechanical Variational Principles for Dissipative Materials with Application to Strain Localization in Bulk Metallic Glasses [PDF]
, 2004 This thesis is concerned with variational principles for general coupled thermomechanical problems in dissipative materials including finite elastic and plastic deformation, non-Newtonian viscosity, rate sensitivity, arbitrary flow and hardening rule, as

Convexity and the Euclidean Metric of Space-Time
Universe, 2017 We address the reasons why the “Wick-rotated”, positive-definite, space-time metric obeys the Pythagorean theorem. An answer is proposed based on the convexity and smoothness properties of the functional spaces purporting to provide the kinematic ...

SPACE–TIME VARIATION OF PHYSICAL CONSTANTS AND THE EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2002 Location-dependence of physical parameters such as the electromagnetic fine structure constant and Newton's G produce body accelerations which violate universality of free fall rates testable with laboratory and space experiments. Theoretically related cosmological time variation of these same parameters are also constrained by experiments such as ...

Variational principles for parabolic equations [PDF]
, 1969 summary:New types of variational principles, each of them equivalent to the linear mixed problem for parabolic equation with initial and combined boundary conditions having been suggested by physicists, are discussed.

Variational Principles and Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics [PDF]
, 2020 Variational principles play a fundamental role in deriving the evolution equations of physics. They work well in the case of non-dissipative evolution, but for dissipative systems, the variational principles are not unique and not constructive.
