Calculus of Variations for Differential Forms
In this thesis we study calculus of variations for differential forms. In the first part we develop the framework of direct methods of calculus of variations in the context of minimization problems for functionals of one or several differential forms of the type, ∫
متن کاملDirect methods in the calculus of variations for differential forms
*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, 150001, P.R. China Abstract The purpose of this paper is to establish the general theory of the direct methods to functionals I defined on the Grassmann algebra employing the classical approaches. In this paper, various notions of convexity conditions for weak lower semicontinuity of I are di...
متن کاملDifferential Forms in Geometric Calculus
Geometric calculus and the calculus of differential forms have common origins in Grassmann algebra but different lines of historical development, so mathematicians have been slow to recognize that they belong together in a single mathematical system. This paper reviews the rationale for embedding differential forms in the more comprehensive system of Geometric Calculus. The most significant app...
متن کاملAV-differential geometry and calculus of variations
The calculus of variations for lagrangians which are not functions on the tangent bundle, but sections certain affine bundles is developed. We follow a general approach to variational principles which admits boundary terms of variations. MSC 2000: 70G45, 70H03, 70H05
متن کاملAn Elucidation of Vector Calculus through Differential Forms
The purpose of this paper is to introduce differential forms to readers without a background in differential geometry. With the presumption that the reader is experienced in advanced calculus, we provide motivation for learning some of the most important concepts in differential geometry by re-observing the theorems of vector calculus.
