Formulating the equations of motion for cosmological bodies (such as galaxies) in an integral, rather than differential, form has several advantages. Using an integral the mathematical instability at early times is avoided and the boundary…

In an attempt to generalize the Hamilton's principle, an action functional is proposed which, unlike the standard version of the principle, accounts properly for all initial data and the possible presence of dissipation. To this end, the…
