Problems and Perspectives on the Calculus of Variations: Physics, Economics, and Geometry 20-25 August 2001 in Toronto Registration Lectures and Notes Travel Information Accommodations ... Diversions "Transport me to Toronto!" In recent years the optimal transportation problem of Monge and Kantorovich has been a focal point for exciting mathematical developments combining calculus of variations, partial differential equations, convexity and geometric measure theory, as well as interesting applications to models from physics, geometry, computer vision, earth science and economics. Our aim is to bring together experienced and young researchers working in a diversity of related areas to share their discoveries and discuss open problems and perspectives for the future of this blossoming field. The conference is supported by a U.S. National Science Foundation Focused Research Group on Optimal Transportation, and will be hosted by the Fields Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Toronto, Canada, Monday August 20 - Saturday August 25, 2001. Some funding is available to defray the local expenses of young researchers and scientists without grants.

Calculus of variations and partial differential equations are classical, very active, closely related areas of mathematics, with important ramifications in differential geometry and mathematical physics. In the last four decades this subject has enjoyed a flourishing development worldwide, which is still continuing and extending to broader perspectives. This journal will attract and collect many of the important top-quality contributions to this field of research, and stress the interactions between analysts, geometers, and physicists. Moreover, it offers an opportunity for communication among scientists working in the field through a section "News and Views" which is open to discussions, announcements of meetings, reproductions of historical documents, bibliographies etc. The field of Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations is extensive; nonetheless, the journal will be open to all interesting new developments. Topics to be covered include: Minimization problems for variational integrals, existence and regularity theory for minimizers and critical points, geometric measure theory;

84. Calculus Of Variations At The University Of Zimbabwe HMTH331 calculus of variations. Lecturer Duration 1 semester. Aim The Calculusof Variations was one of the first fruitful areas of applied analysis. http://uzweb.uz.ac.zw/science/maths/courses/hmth331.htm

HMTH331 Calculus of Variations Lecturer: Duration :1 semester Prerequisites : 24 lectures Aim: The Calculus of Variations was one of the first fruitful areas of applied analysis. While remaining an ideal classical area in which to display the power of analysis in action, it is also the gateway into modern control theory. This course aims to communicate the historical and analytical challenge presented to classical calculus by the qualitatively new problems epitomised by the brachistochrone problem, and also to show how a nice combination of mathematical modelling and rigorous application of the tools of mathematical analysis leads to their solution. The course will develop the analytical tools carefully, and will illustrate their application with problems old and recent, from a wide variety of fields. Course Outline: Typical problems, and their historical origins: brachistochrone, geodesics, catenary, minimal surfaces, loaded elastic beams and cylinders, simple optimal control in economics, resource depletion and population dynamics. Mathematical modelling of the general problem. The Euler-Lagrange equation, historical origins and applications. Extensions to curves with corners, variable endpoints, higher derivatives, several variable functions, and multiple integrals; applications.

85. Calculus Of Variations \& Regularized Autoregressive Spectral Estimation calculus of variations Regularized Autoregressive Spectral Estimation.Frédéric Barbaresco. Abstract. Extension of Partial Differential http://www.supelec.fr/lss/MaxEnt2000/htm/Abstracts/barbaresco.html

Abstract Extension of Partial Differential Equation (PDE) Approaches, previously developed in image processing, to the case of Autoregressive spectrum defined as a closed orientated parametric curve in complex plane in the context of Calculus of variations and solved by the associate Euler-Lagrange Equation. A new numerical scheme based on intrinsic geometrical criteria, interpreted as Mean Curvature Flow, solves implicitly the problem of choosing the smoothing parameter of regularization (hyperparameter). Finally, Polya Vectors Field provides a new interpretation of the regularization Mechanism in spectral estimation. File translated from T E X by T T H , version 2.61. On 3 Jul 2000, 10:10.

Mathematics or Browse by Subject paper In Stock Standard Table of Contents Optimal Control and the Calculus of Variations ENID R. PINCH, University of Manchester Optimal control is a modern development of the calculus of variations and classical optimization theory. For that reason, this introduction to the theory of optimal control starts by considering the problem of minimizing a function of many variables. It moves through an exposition of the calculus of variations, to the optimal control of systems governed by ordinary differential equations. This approach should enable students to see the essential unity of important areas of mathematics, and also allow optimal control and the Pontryagin maximum principle to be placed in a proper context. Although this book is written for the advanced undergraduate mathematician, engineers and scientists who regularly rely on mathematics will also find it a useful text. "The author has achieved his aim. Anyone who is curious to know what optimal control theory is all about, or who wishes to begin specializing in this field, would benefit by having this book close at hand. Technical libraries should acquire it, too. . . . highly recommended." Applied Mechanics Review 248 pp.; 90 illus.; 0-19-851489-1

Encyclopedia calculus of variations calculus of variations, branch of mathematics concerned with finding maximum or minimum conditions for a relationship between two or more variables that depends not only on the variables themselves, as in the ordinary calculus , but also on an additional arbitrary relation, or constraint, between them. For example, the problem of finding the closed plane curve of given length that will enclose the greatest area is a type of isoperimetric (equal-perimeter) problem that can be treated by the methods of the variational calculus; the solution to this special case is the circle. Another famous problem is the brachistochrone problem, that of finding the curve along which an object will slide to a point not directly below it in the shortest time; the solution is a cycloid curve (a curve traced out by a fixed point on the circumference of a circle as the circle rolls along a straight line). In general, problems in the calculus of variations involve solving the definite integral (single or multiple) of a function of one or more independent variables, x x , . . . , one or more dependent variables
