Actually, it turns out that the text itself was written some time ago, but dont let you be put off by that - this book is very scholarly and you really will be enlightened by it. Now, where do you begin? Usually at University, I guess, this subject is treated in a way that makes most folks think that just about all "Calculus of Variations" problems can be solved with the Euler Lagrange equation, and from there on, you just have to solve the resulting differential equation. And I guess thats sometimes possible. But in the real world, sometimes you end up with that equation simply not working, and your problem is more messy and not expressible using "nice" functions. Now, this is where this book begins. We start by looking at "sufficient" and "necessary" conditions for solutions - and these are not the same things! This at least allows you to work out whether a solution is there, for goodness sake, before you waste time trying to find it.

Titel (html) Vorwort (html) Inhalt (html) Pdf (1.25 MBytes) ... Dvi.gz (163K no illustrations) Introduction (by J. Moser translation from the german by O. Knill These lecture notes describe a new development in the calculus of variations called Aubry-Mather-Theory . The starting point for the theoretical physicist Aubry was the description of the motion of electrons in a two-dimensional crystal in terms of a simple model. To do so, he investigated a discrete variational problem and the corresponding minimals. On the other hand, Mather started from a specific class of area-preserving annulus mappings, so called monotone twist maps Mather sets . His existence theorem is based again on a variational principle. Evenso these two investigations have different motivations, they are closely related and have the same mathematical foundation. In the following, we will now not follow those approaches but will make a connection to classical results of Jacobi, Legendre, Weierstrass and others from the 19'th century. Therefore in chapter~I, we will put together the results of the classical theory which are the for us most important. The notion of extremal fields will be the most relevant one in the following.

Next: Derivative of a real Up: Kohn-Sham equations Previous: Kohn-Sham equations Basics of the calculus of variations To derive the Kohn-Sham equations, we must first take the derivative of a functional, which is the basic subject of the calculus of variations . Despite the mystique associated with the calculus of variations, it is really no more complicated than taking derivatives of multi-variable functions. This is because any functional, say F g x )], may be viewed as just a function of a large collection of variables, namely the values of its argument function g x ) at each point in space x . One can think of a function g x ) as a (very long) vector of values, one for each value of x , just as we think of a vector as a set of values , one for each value of the index i . With this perspective, the points in space x are the analogue of the index i , so that we can think of the function g x ) also as the indexed set of values With this perspective, we see that, just as the first-order variation df of a multi-variable function with changes in its argument is given by a sum over the index i the variation of the functional F g x )] is given by a ``sum'' over the index x Note that, because

Calculus of Variations Lecture (starts April 23) Tuesday room 48/582 Thursday room 48/582 Handwritten lecture notes can be found in the library. Brief Summary: The purpose of the course is to demonstrate the beauty and power of variational methods in solving many physical and geometrical problems. The course will give a self contained introduction to the basic variational concepts. Here are some keywords: first variation, Gateaux and Frechet derivatives, fundamental lemma, Euler Lagrange equations, constrained variational problems, Emmy Noether's theorem, second variation, convexity, Legendre transformation, Hamiltonian formulation, Hamilton Jacoby theory, weak lower semicontinuous functionals, existence theorems, regularity results, and many many examples. Here is an example from the theory of capillary surfaces: The result of such a calculation can be seen in the following figure where the capillary surface has been calculated for three different straw diameters. Here is an example from the theory of thin films: If you take a wire hoop, bend it, and put it into soap liquid, you will observe a soap film in your wire frame once you remove it from the liquid. The shape of this surface is dictated again by the principle of least surface energy (it is surface of minimal area, i.e. a
