Directory Listings Calculus of Variations A branch of mathematics that is a sort of generalization of calculus. Calculus of variations seeks to find the path, curve, surface, etc., for which a given function has a stationary value (which, in physical problems, is usually a minimum or maximum). Mathematically, this involves finding stationary values of integrals of the form. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CalculusofVariations.html - profile Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Calculus of variations and optimization seek functions or geometric objects which are optimize some objective function. Certainly this includes a discussion of techniques to find the optima, such as successive approximations or linear programming. In addition, there is quite a lot of work establishing the existence of optima and characterizing them. http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/index/49-XX.html - profile |
