Pointwise minimization of supplemented variational problems

Peter Kosmol, Dieter Müller-Wichards (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We describe an approach to variational problems, where the solutions appear as pointwise (finite-dimensional) minima for fixed t of the supplemented Lagrangian. The minimization is performed simultaneously with respect to the state variable x and ẋ, as opposed to Pontryagin's maximum principle, where optimization is done only with respect to the ẋ-variable. We use the idea of the equivalent problems of Carathéodory employing suitable (and simple) supplements to the original minimization...

Generalized Jacobi morphisms in variational sequences

Francaviglia, Mauro, Palese, Marcella

Similarity:

Summary: We provide a geometric interpretation of generalized Jacobi morphisms in the framework of finite order variational sequences. Jacobi morphisms arise classically as an outcome of an invariant decomposition of the second variation of a Lagrangian. Here they are characterized in the context of generalized Lagrangian symmetries in terms of variational Lie derivatives of generalized Euler-Lagrange morphisms. We introduce the variational vertical derivative and stress its link with...

A Remark on Variational Principles of Choban, Kenderov and Revalski

Adrian Królak (2013)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider some variational principles in the spaces C*(X) of bounded continuous functions on metrizable spaces X, introduced by M. M. Choban, P. S. Kenderov and J. P. Revalski. In particular we give an answer (consistent with ZFC) to a question stated by these authors.
