Via the semi-inverse method, variational principles are established for the Drinfeld-Sokolov-Wilson (DSW) equation. Based on the obtained variational formulations, exact solitary solution and exact singular periodic wave solution can be obtained using the variational approach.

The aim of this paper is to consider time-dependent variational and quasi-variational inequalities and to study under which assumptions the continuity of solutions with respect to the time can be ensured. Making on appropriate use of the set convergence in Mosco’s sense, we get the desiderate continuity results for strongly monotone variational and quasi-variational inequalities. The continuity...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of bifunction variational inequalities, which is called the multivalued mixed quasi bifunction variational inequalities. Using the auxiliary principle technique, we suggest and analyze a proximal point method for solving the multivalued mixed quasi bifunction variational inequalities. It is shown that the convergence of the proposed method requires only p...

The aim of the present paper is to give a new kind of point of view in the theory of variational inequalities. Our approach makes possible the study of both scalar and vector variational inequalities under a great variety of assumptions. One can include here the variational inequalities defined on reflexive or nonreflexive Banach spaces, as well as the vector variational inequalities defined on...

In this paper, He’s variational iterative method has been applied to give exact solution of the Euler Lagrange equation which arises from the variational problems with moving boundaries and isoperimetric problems. In this method, general Lagrange multipliers are introduced to construct correction functional for the variational problems. The initial approximations can be freely chosen with possi...

In this paper, we introduce and study the system of generalized vector quasi-variational-like inequalities in Hausdorff topological vector spaces. By means of fixed point theorem, we obtain existence theorem for the system of generalized vector quasi-variational-like inequalities and also derive the existence result of solutions for the generalized vector quasi-variational-like inequalities. Ke...

Spectral methods are a popular choice for constructing numerical approximations for smooth problems, as they can achieve geometric rates of convergence and have a relatively small memory footprint. In this paper, we introduce a general framework to convert a spectral-collocation method into a shootingbased variational integrator for Hamiltonian systems. We also compare the proposed spectral-col...

We introduce overdispersed black-box variational inference, a method to reduce the variance of the Monte Carlo estimator of the gradient in black-box variational inference. Instead of taking samples from the variational distribution, we use importance sampling to take samples from an overdispersed distribution in the same exponential family as the variational approximation. Our approach is gene...

We derive a variational characterization of the exact discrete Hamiltonian, which is a Type II generating function for the exact flow of a Hamiltonian system, by considering a Legendre transformation of Jacobi’s solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. This provides an exact correspondence between continuous and discrete Hamiltonian mechanics, which arise from the continuousand discrete-time H...
