O ct 2 00 4 NON DIFFERENTIABLE VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLES
— We developp a calculus of variations for functionals which are defined on a set of non differentiable curves. We first extend the classical differential calculus in a quantum calculus, which allows us to define a complex operator, called the scale derivative, which is the non differentiable analogue of the classical derivative. We then define the notion of extremals for our functionals and ob...
متن کاملAdversarial Variational Optimization of Non-Differentiable Simulators
Complex computer simulators are increasingly used across fields of science as generative models tying parameters of an underlying theory to experimental observations. Inference in this setup is often difficult, as simulators rarely admit a tractable density or likelihood function. We introduce Adversarial Variational Optimization (AVO), a likelihood-free inference algorithm for fitting a non-di...
متن کاملConstants of Motion for Non-Differentiable Quantum Variational Problems
We extend the DuBois-Reymond necessary optimality condition and Noether’s symmetry theorem to the scale relativity theory setting. Both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian versions of Noether’s theorem are proved, covering problems of the calculus of variations with functionals defined on sets of non-differentiable functions, as well as more general non-differentiable problems of optimal control. As an ...
متن کاملVariational Principles in Renormalization Theory
The variational principles introduced by Kadanoff et al in the renormahzatmn theory are analyzed. It is shown that the values for the specific heat critical exponent a which can be found by a variational method are restricted to a < 0 or t~ = 1 (first order transition). The reason is the confluence of the singularities in the free energy and in the variational parameters. A full implementation ...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Stellar Structure
The four equations of stellar structure are reformulated as two alternate pairs of variational principles. Different thermodynamic representations lead to the same hydromechanical equations, but the thermal equations require, not the entropy, but the temperature as the thermal field variable. Our treatment emphasizes the hydrostatic energy and the entropy production rate of luminosity produced ...
