Gyarmati's Variational Principle of Dissipative Processes
Like mechanics and electrodynamics, the fundamental laws of the thermodynamics of dissipative processes can be compressed into a variational principle. This variational principle both in its differential (local) and in integral (global) forms was formulated by Gyarmati helped by the present author in 1965. This principle was applied to several fields of irreversible processes: first of all, his...
متن کاملVariational principle for nonlinear wave propagation in dissipative systems.
The dynamics of many natural systems is dominated by nonlinear waves propagating through the medium. We show that in any extended system that supports nonlinear wave fronts with positive surface tension, the asymptotic wave-front dynamics can be formulated as a gradient system, even when the underlying evolution equations for the field variables cannot be written as a gradient system. The varia...
متن کامل$(varphi_1, varphi_2)$-variational principle
In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle, J. Ma...

متن کاملVariational principle for steady states of dissipative quantum many-body systems.
We present a novel generic framework to approximate the nonequilibrium steady states of dissipative quantum many-body systems. It is based on the variational minimization of a suitable norm of the quantum master equation describing the dynamics. We show how to apply this approach to different classes of variational quantum states and demonstrate its successful application to a dissipative exten...
