The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy production in macroscopic systems is non-negative, reaching zero only at thermodynamic equilibrium. As a corollary, this implies that the state trajectory of macroscopic systems is…
By using the Onsager principle as an approximation tool, we give a novel derivation for the moving finite element method for gradient flow equations. We show that the discretized problem has the same energy dissipation structure as the…
