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.

Student perspectives in quantum physics [PDF]

, 2008
Introductory courses in classical physics are promoting in students a realist perspective, made up in part by the belief that all physical properties of a system can be simultaneously specified, and thus determined at all future times. Such a perspective

Interpretation in quantum physics as hidden curriculum [PDF]

, 2010
Prior research has demonstrated how the realist perspectives of classical physics students can translate into specific beliefs about quantum phenomena when taking an introductory modern physics course.

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 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 in physics

, 2007
Optimization under constraints is an essential part of everyday life. Indeed, we routinely solve problems by striking a balance between contradictory interests, individual desires and material contingencies.

Enhancing Variational Informational Principles: A Complexified Approach with Arbitrary Order Norms

Mathematics
This paper offers an innovative exploration of variational informational principles by incorporating complexification and studying norms of arbitrary order, thereby surpassing the limitations of the conventional L2 norm. For years, variational principles

Action-Driven flows for causal variational principles

Forum of Mathematics, Sigma
We introduce action-driven flows for causal variational principles, being a class of nonconvex variational problems emanating from applications in fundamental physics.
