   Extractions: A branch of mathematics which 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 on ( a, b A generalization of calculus of variations known as Morse theory (and sometimes called "calculus of variations in the large" uses nonlinear techniques to address variational problems.

   Extractions: POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 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. In many cases, optimal functions or curves can be expressed as solutions to differential equations. Common applications include seeking curves and surfaces which are minimal in some sense. However, the spaces on which the analysis are done may represent configurations of some physical system, say, so that this field also applies to optimization problems in economics or control theory for example.

    Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Joseph Louis Lagrange , the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century, was born at Turin on January 25, 1736, and died at Paris on April 10, 1813. His father, who had charge of the Sardinian military chest, was of good social position and wealthy, but before his son grew up he had lost most of his property in speculations, and young Lagrange had to rely for his position on his own abilities. He was educated at the college of Turin, but it was not until he was seventeen that he shewed any taste for mathematics - his interest in the subject being first excited by a memoir by Halley across which he came by accident. Alone and unaided he threw himself into mathematical studies; at the end of a year's incessant toil he was already an accomplished mathematician, and was made a lecturer in the artillery school. The first fruit of Lagrange's labours here was his letter, written when he was still only nineteen, to Euler, in which he solved the isoperimetrical problem which for more than half a century had been a subject of discussion. To effect the solution (in which he sought to determine the form of a function so that a formula in which it entered should satisfy a certain condition) he enunciated the principles of the calculus of variations. Euler recognized the generality of the method adopted, and its superiority to that used by himself; and with rare courtesy he withheld a paper he had previously written, which covered some of the same ground, in order that the young Italian might have time to complete his work, and claim the undisputed invention of the new calculus. The name of this branch of analysis was suggested by Euler. This memoir at once placed Lagrange in the front rank of mathematicians then living.

    Extractions: Aerodynamic Newton's problem. The problem consists of searching the generating line y x ) of a rotation-body with the minimum resistance in a flow of rarefied ideal gas. The gas is represented as collection of infinitely small particles which do not mutually collide and are mirror-like reflected having collided with the body. At first, we solve the problem, following [ ], under assumption that the value of y' is small. After, the numerical search of the solution in the class of functions y = x p is demonstrated. Further, in frames of the numerical approach, the program for finding the solution by the Euler method (as a piecewise linear approximation) is demonstrated. Here, the problem is reduced to searching the minimum of the function of many variables. The optimal solution has a corner point [

    Extractions: Functionals and their derivative play an essential role in the many applications, e.g., differential equations (and other equations on mathematical physics) can sometimes be written as critical point (vanishing derivative) of a functional. Often the solution of such an equation is equivalent to the minimization of a corresponding functional. The course will explore this relation. Basic concepts to be treated will be: derivatives (variations) of functionals of infinite dimension (typically function spaces), convexity, weak topology, the Banach-Alaoglu theorem, weak semi-continuity, minimax principles, and Sobolev spaces. The applications will include examples from physics (Poisson equation, Thomas-Fermi equation and others) as well as applications from geometry (minimal surface equations) and numerics.
