On Poincaré’s Variational Problem in Potential Theory
One of the earliest attempts to rigorously prove the solvability of Dirichlet’s boundary value problem was based on seeking the solution in the form of a ”potential of double layer”, and this leads to an integral equation whose kernel is (in general) both singular and non-symmetric. C. Neumann succeeded with this approach for smoothly bounded convex domains, and H. Poincaré, by a tremendous tou...
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 approach in dislocation theory
A variational approach is presented to calculate the stress field generated by a system of dislocations. It is shown that in the simplest case, when the material containing the dislocations obeys Hooke’s law the variational framework gives the same field equations as Kröner’s theory. However, the variational method proposed allows to study many other problems like dislocation core regularisatio...
متن کاملVariational Transition State Theory
Transition state theory (TST) 1 is the most widely used theory for calculating rates of bimolecular eactions occurring in the gas phase and in condensed phases. TST is also incorporated into the widely used RRKM theory for unimolecular reactions. The popularity of TST is largely due to its simplicity and its usefulness for correlating trends in reaction rates in terms of easily interpreted quan...
متن کاملVariational Theory of Mixtures
In the past the variational theory of mixtures due to Mansoori and Leland has been applied successfully to the calculation of excess properties of mixtures. In the present work the origin of the variational theory is discussed along with the important applications of the theory to pure fluid and mixture properties. The advances of the theory in performing mixture calculations are reviewed and a...
