VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES AND METHODS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES AND METHODS IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY ROBERT K. NESBET "Ideal for graduate students and researchers in any field that uses variational methodology, this book is particularly suitable as a backup reference for lecture courses in mathematical methods in ph… OL13606356W
Geometric integration theory Geometric integration theory Steven G. Krantz "This textbook introduces geometric measure theory through the notion of currents. Currents - continuous linear functionals on spaces of differential forms - are a natural language in which to formul… OL1931682W
Calculus of Variations I Calculus of Variations I Mariano Giaquinta This 2-volume treatise by two of the leading researchers and writers in the field, quickly established itself as a standard reference. It pays special attention to the historical aspects and the orig… OL19832937W
Cartesian Currents in the Calculus of Variations II Cartesian Currents in the Calculus of Variations II Mariano Giaquinta This monograph (in two volumes) deals with non scalar variational problems arising in geometry, as harmonic mappings between Riemannian manifolds and minimal graphs, and in physics, as stable equilib… OL19833370W
Extremal Problems in Interpolation Theory, Whitney-Besicovitch Coverings, and Singular Integrals Extremal Problems in Interpolation Theory, Whitney-Besicovitch Coverings, and Singular Integrals Sergey Kislyakov <p>In this book we suggest a unified method of constructing near-minimizers for certain important functionals arising in approximation, harmonic analysis and ill-posed problems and most widely used i… OL19849233W
Functional Analysis, Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Functional Analysis, Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Francis Clarke Functional analysis owes much of its early impetus to problems that arise in the calculus of variations. In turn, the methods developed there have been applied to optimal control, an area that also r… OL19851621W
Solid Mechanics Solid Mechanics Clive L. Dym Solid Mechanics: A Variational Approach, Augmented Edition presents a lucid and thoroughly developed approach to solid mechanics for students engaged in the study of elastic structures not seen in ot… OL19902906W
Variational Methods in Mathematical Physics Variational Methods in Mathematical Physics Philippe Blanchard This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to variational methods. Its unifying aspect, based on appropriate concepts of compactness, is the study of critical points of functionals via direct meth… OL19909292W
Dynamic Optimization Dynamic Optimization Nancy L. Schwartz,Morton Kamien,Morton I. Kamien " An excellent financial research tool, this celebrated classic focuses on the methods of solving continuous time problems. The two-part treatment covers the calculus of variations and optimal contro… OL4095497W
