in this paper, under appropriate oscillating behaviours of the nonlinear term, we prove some multiplicity results for a class of nonlinear fractional equations. these problems have a variational structure and we find three solutions for them by exploiting an abstract result for smooth functionals defined on a reflexive banach space. to make the nonlinear methods work, some careful analysis of t...

A variational principle governing the dynamics of a vortex filament in unbounded incompressible inviscid fluid flow was suggested by Rasetti and Regge [Physica A 80, 217 (1975)]. This variational principle holds in the approximation taking into account the logarithmically large terms, on the order of ln(La) , L and a being the length and the cross-section radius of the filament, respectively. I...

in this paper, he's highly proli c variational iteration method is applied ef-fectively for showing the existence, uniqueness and solving a class of singularsecond order two point boundary value problems. the process of nding solu-tion involves generation of a sequence of appropriate and approximate iterativesolution function equally likely to converge to the exact solution of the givenpr...

A variational principle is constructed for gravity coupled to an asymptotically linear dilaton and a p-form field strength. This requires the introduction of appropriate surface terms – also known as ‘boundary counterterms’ – in the action. The variation of the action with respect to the boundary metric yields a boundary stress tensor, which is used to construct conserved charges that generate ...

In this paper we investigate optimal control problems governed by variational inequalities. We present a method for deriving optimality conditions in the form of Pontryagin's principle. The main tools used are the Ekeland's variational principle combined with penalization and spike variation techniques. 1. Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to present a method for deriving a Pontryagin ...

In recent years there has been significant developments in the reconstruction of magnetic resonance velocity images from sub-sampled k-space data. While showing a strong improvement in reconstruction quality compared to classical approaches, the vast number of different methods, and the challenges in setting them up, often leaves the user with the difficult task of choosing the correct approach...

Non-convex variational/boundary-value problems are studied using a modified version of the Ericksen bar model in nonlinear elasticity. The strain-energy function is a general fourth-order polynomial in a suitable measure of strain that provides a convenient model for the study of, for example, phase transitions. On the basis of a canonical duality theory, the nonlinear differential equation for...
