The vectorial Zhu-Li Variational Principle (ZLVP) in Fang uniform spaces is in the logical segment between the Brezis-Browder ordering principle (BB) and Ekeland's Variational Principle (EVP); hence, it is equivalent with both BB and EVP.…
This article extends to the vector setting the results of our previous work Kruger et al. (2015) which refined and slightly strengthened the metric space version of the Borwein-Preiss variational principle due to Li and Shi, J. Math. Anal.…
We formulate a Herglotz-type variational principle on a Lie algebroid and derive the corresponding Euler--Lagrange--Herglotz equations for a Lagrangian depending on an additional scalar variable $z$. This provides a geometric framework for…
A Feynman-Jensen version of the thermal variational principle is applied to hot gauge fields, Abelian as well as non-Abelian: scalar electrodynamics (without scalar self-coupling) and the gluon plasma. The perturbatively known self-energies…
A specific choice of gauge is shown to imply a decoupling between the tensor and scalar components of Gravitational Radiation in the context of Brans-Dicke type theories of gravitation. The comparison of the predictions of these theories…
Some nonlinear extensions of the vector maximality statement established by Goepfert, Tammer and Zalinescu [Nonl. Anal., 39 (2000), 909-922] are given. Basic instruments for these are the Brezis-Browder ordering principle [Advances Math.,…
In principle, observables as for example the sphaleron rate or the tunneling rate in a first-order phase transition are gauge-independent. However, in practice a gauge dependence is introduced in explicit perturbative calculations due to…
We have derived an expression for the magnetic susceptibility of topologically trivial insulators, however an important consideration for any response tensor is whether it is gauge-invariant. By this we refer to the gauge-freedom in…
The structure of classical electrodynamics based on the variational principle together with causality and space-time homogeneity is analyzed. It is proved that in this case the 4-potentials are defined uniquely. On the other hand, the…
We consider variants on the classical Berz sublinearity theorem, using only DC, the Axiom of Dependent Choices, rather than AC, the Axiom of Choice which Berz used. We consider thinned versions, in which conditions are imposed on only part…
Presently, the optical selection rules for excitons under circularly-polarized light are manifestly gauge-dependent. Recently, Fernando et al. introduced a gauge-invariant, quantized interband index. This index may improve the topological…
The theory of large deviations constitutes a mathematical cornerstone in the foundations of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics, based on the additive entropy $S_{BG}=- k_B\sum_{i=1}^W p_i \ln p_i$. Its optimization under appropriate…
In this lecture note, we show a general property of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) that quantifies the interdependencies between the parameters in a vector. The presented result is valid for more general models than the additive noise model and…
Variational principles in mechanics, field theory and geometric analysis are usually formulated on closed admissible classes, where boundary variations are either fixed or independently cancelled through natural boundary conditions.…
Assume that A is a bounded selfadjoint operator in a Hilbert space H. Then, the variational principle is obtained for some functional. As an application of this principle, a variational principle for the electrical capacitance of a…
We investigate the dependence on parameters for second order difference equations with two point boundary value conditions by using a variational method in case when the corresponding Euler action functional is coercive. Some applications…
We prove a conditional expectation bang-bang principle. Based on properties of the conditional expectation vector measure, we establish that the conditional expectation of a set-valued mapping coincides with the conditional expectation of…
We investigate the dependence on parameters for the discrete boundary value problem connected with the Emden-Fowler equation. A variational method is used in order to obtain a general scheme allowing for investigation the dependence on…
Chiral Schwinger model with the Faddeevian anomaly is considered. It is found that imposing a chiral constraint this model can be expressed in terms of chiral boson. The model when expressed in terms of chiral boson remains anomalous and…
The Born rule is derived from operational assumptions, independent of the normalization of the state. Unlike Gleason's theorem, the argument applies even if probabilities are defined for only a single resolution of the identity, so it…
