On dual-complementary variational principles in mathematical physics

International Journal of Engineering Science, 1974
A general theory of complementary-dual variational principles is developed for a wide class of linear boundary value problems in mathematical physics. In particular, the class of problems considered is described by equations of the form \(T^*ETu+ f= 0\), where \(T\) is a linear operator from a Hilbert space \(\mathcal U\) into \(\mathcal G\), \((T ...

Rearrangement Collisions in the Schwinger Variational Principle: A Long-Standing Problem in Positron Scattering Physics

The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2023
In this letter, we propose a functional on the basis of the Schwinger variational principle that accounts for the particle rearrangement by solving a projected Lippmann-Schwinger equation system. The method is tested in the static-coupled approximation for positron-H, where excellent agreements with benchmark results are found for the elastic ...

A New Variational Principle for the Fundamental Equations of Classical Physics

Foundations of Physics, 1998
In this paper we introduce a variational principle from which the fundamental equations of classical physics can be deduced. This principle permits a sort of unification of the gravitational and the electromagnetic fields. The basic point of this variational principle is that the world-line of a material point is parametrized by a parameter a which ...

A note on a variational principle for crystal physics

Computational Mechanics, 1987
A variational principle for coupled piezoelectric heat conduction is derived. The bilinear convolution due to Gurtin is used to formulate a general variational function. An extended function is presented that is suitable for finite element analysis.

The use of the variational principle in nuclear physics

Nuclear Physics A, 1972
Abstract The most general form of the variational principle, which treats all of the observables of a system on an equal basis, is formulated. The Hartree-Fock equations and the “projected” variational equations are shown to be special cases of the general formulation.

Variational Representations in Reactor Physics Derived from a Physical Principle

Nuclear Science and Engineering, 1960
A physical axiom is advanced that relates the density of neutrons and their individual contribution to the operationally determinable behavior of a reactor. The variational principle derived from this axiom is of a general form applicable to systems in which the time dependency of the coefficients of the equations prevents a separation into ...
