It is shown that when in a higher order variational principle one fixes fields at the boundary leaving the field derivatives unconstrained, then the variational principle (in particular the solution space) is not invariant with respect to…
We give a variational proof of a version of the Yau-Tian-Donaldson conjecture for twisted K\"ahler-Einstein currents, and use this to express the greatest (twisted) Ricci lower bound in terms of a purely algebro-geometric stability…
This note presents an attempt to provide a conceptual framework for variational formulations of classical physics. Variational principles of physics have all a common source in the {\it principle of virtual work} well known in statics of…
Berry-Esseen-type bounds for total variation and relative entropy distances to the normal law are established for the sums of non-i.i.d. random variables.
We study the rigidity of polyhedral surfaces using variational principle. The action functionals are derived from the cosine laws. The main focus of this paper is on the cosine law for a non-triangular region bounded by three possibly…
A description of how the principle of stationary action reproduces itself in terms of the intrinsic geometry of variational equations is proposed. A notion of stationary points of an internal Lagrangian is introduced. A connection between…

We present a general fixed point theorem which can be seen as the quintessence of the principles of proof for Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, ultrametric and certain topological fixed point theorems. It works in a minimal setting, not…

We present a weighted version of the Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg inequality in the framework of variable exponents. The combination of this inequality with a variant of the fountain theorem, yields the existence of infinitely many solutions…
Variational principles are proved for self-adjoint operator functions arising from variational evolution equations of the form \[ \langle\ddot{z}(t),y \rangle + \mathfrak{d}[\dot{z} (t), y] + \mathfrak{a}_0 [z(t),y] = 0. \] Here…
In backward error analysis, an approximate solution to an equation is compared to the exact solution to a nearby modified equation. In numerical ordinary differential equations, the two agree up to any power of the step size. If the…
Lima and Monteiro [1] derived the buoyant force in a nonuniform gravitational field by applying a gradient version of the divergence theorem to the surface integral of the pressure forces [2]. Here it is outlined an alternate approach in…
The objective of this paper is to introduce and study a complicated nonlinear system, called coupled variational-hemivariational inequalities, which is described by a highly nonlinear coupled system of inequalities on Banach spaces. We…
We discuss a recently proposed variational principle for deriving the variational equations associated to any Lagrangian system. The principle gives simultaneously the Lagrange and the variational equations of the system. We define a new…
In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $\left(\varphi_1, \varphi_2\right)-$convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g…
We are concerned with a skew-symmetric singular Liouville system arising in non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory. Based on its variational structure, we establish existence and multiplicity results. Since the energy functional is…
In the recent years, with the incorporation of contact geometry, there has been a renewed interest in the study of dissipative or non-conservative systems in physics and other areas of applied mathematics. The equations arising when…
The exponential contraction in $L^1$-Wasserstein distance and exponential convergence in $L^q$-Wasserstein distance ($q\geq 1$) are considered for stochastic differential equations with irregular drift. When the irregular drift drift is…
We derive a variant of the nonsmooth maximum principle for problems with pure state constraints. The interest of our result resides on the nonsmoothness itself since, when applied to smooth problems, it coincides with known results.…
