Book excerpt: Excerpt from Researches in the Calculus of Variations, Principally on the Theory of Discontinuous Solutions: An Essay to Which the Adams Prize Was Awarded in the University of Cambridge in 1871 The subject of this Essay was prescribed in the following terms by the Examiners: The Adams Prize. A determination of the circumstances under which discontinuity of any kind presents itself in the solution of a problem of maximum or minimum in the Calculus of Variations, and applications to particular instances. It is expected that the discussion of the instances should be exemplified as far as possible geometrically, and that attention be especially directed to cases of real or supposed failure of the Calculus. It was after much hesitation that I resolved to discuss the subject; the fact that it had given rise to some controversy, however, naturally led me to enforce what I believed to be the correct and adequate explanation of the difficulties which had been raised.

Book Researches the the Calculus of Variation

Download or read book Researches the the Calculus of Variation written by I Todhunter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps no subject has given occasion for so much unsound reasoning as the Calculus of Variations. Mr. Todhunter's learning in the subject is well known to all who have examined his very useful history. But I think that he fails to detect the faults in principle which generally disfigure the writings of mathematicians on this subject, and that in these researches he makes the errors of previous writers his own, adding original investigations nearly as faulty as what is not original. Nevertheless, the book has many merits. It is very suggestive, and the felicity of expression and clearness of illustration remind the student of Mr. Todhunter's educational works. But I maintain that unsound argument in a mathematical work is a fault so very great, that no beauty of style or other merit can compensate for it. A false theory is refuted when a single case of failure is proved. I shall state and illustrate a few elementary principles, and shew, both that in Mr. Todhunter's Researches these principles are contravened, and that what I object to is inconsistent with positions maintained by Mr. Todhunter elsewhere. -The Messenger of Mathematics

Book The Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control

Download or read book The Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control written by George Leitmann and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Tyrian princess Dido landed on the North African shore of the Mediterranean sea she was welcomed by a local chieftain. He offered her all the land that she could enclose between the shoreline and a rope of knotted cowhide. While the legend does not tell us, we may assume that Princess Dido arrived at the correct solution by stretching the rope into the shape of a circular arc and thereby maximized the area of the land upon which she was to found Carthage. This story of the founding of Carthage is apocryphal. Nonetheless it is probably the first account of a problem of the kind that inspired an entire mathematical discipline, the calculus of variations and its extensions such as the theory of optimal control. This book is intended to present an introductory treatment of the calculus of variations in Part I and of optimal control theory in Part II. The discussion in Part I is restricted to the simplest problem of the calculus of variations. The topic is entirely classical; all of the basic theory had been developed before the turn of the century. Consequently the material comes from many sources; however, those most useful to me have been the books of Oskar Bolza and of George M. Ewing. Part II is devoted to the elementary aspects of the modern extension of the calculus of variations, the theory of optimal control of dynamical systems.

Book Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations

Download or read book Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations written by Luigi Ambrosio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the summer school in Pisa in September 1996, Luigi Ambrosio and Norman Dancer each gave a course on the geometric problem of evolution of a surface by mean curvature, and degree theory with applications to PDEs respectively. This self-contained presentation accessible to PhD students bridged the gap between standard courses and advanced research on these topics. The resulting book is divided accordingly into 2 parts, and neatly illustrates the 2-way interaction of problems and methods. Each of the courses is augmented and complemented by additional short chapters by other authors describing current research problems and results.
