We prove optimality conditions for different variational functionals containing left and right Caputo fractional derivatives. A sufficient condition of minimization under an appropriate convexity assumption is given. An Euler-Lagrange…
Employing a phase space which includes the (Riemann-Liouville) fractional derivative of curves evolving on real space, we develop a restricted variational principle for Lagrangian systems yielding the so-called restricted fractional…
We develop a variational approach to the minimization problem of functionals of the type $\frac12\left\lVert \nabla \phi \right\rVert^2_2 + \beta \left\lVert \phi \right\rVert_1$ constrained by $\left\lVert \phi \right\rVert_2 = 1$ which is…
We establish Maximum Principles which apply to vectorial approximate minimizers of the general integral functional of Calculus of Variations. Our main result is a version of the Convex Hull Property. The primary advance compared to results…
A variational principle is introduced which minimizes an action formulated for configurations of vacuum Dirac seas. The action is analyzed in position and momentum space. We relate the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations to the notion of…
A scheme for generating a family of convex variational principles is developed, the Euler- Lagrange equations of each member of the family formally corresponding to the necessary conditions of optimal control of a given system of ordinary…
We develop a non-anticipating calculus of variations for functionals on a space of laws of continuous semi-martingales, which extends the classical one. We extend Hamilton's least action principle and Noether's theorem to this generalized…
The Lagrange problem is established in the discrete field theory subject to constraints with values in a Lie group. For the admissible sections that satisfy a certain regularity condition, we prove that the critical sections of such…
The support of minimizing measures of the causal variational principle on the sphere is analyzed. It is proven that in the case $\tau>\sqrt{3}$, the support of every minimizing measure is contained in a finite number of real analytic curves…
In this paper we consider minimizers for nonlocal energy functionals generalizing elastic energies that are connected with the theory of peridynamics \cite{Silling2000} or nonlocal diffusion models \cite{Rossi}. We derive nonlocal versions…
We study variational systems for space curves, for which the Lagrangian or action principle has a Euclidean symmetry, using the Rotation Minimising frame, also known as the Normal, Parallel or Bishop frame. Such systems have previously been…
We study a variational model of magnetoelasticity both in the static and in the quasistatic setting. The model features a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation, as magnetizations are defined on the deformed configuration in the actual…
We investigate splitting-type variational problems with some linear growth conditions. For balanced solutions of the associated Euler-Lagrange equation we receive a result analogous to Bernstein's theorem on non-parametric minimal surfaces.…
A discrete version of Lagrangian reduction is developed in the context of discrete time Lagrangian systems on $G\times G$, where $G$ is a Lie group. We consider the case when the Lagrange function is invariant with respect to the action of…
We investigate variational problems in large-strain magnetoelasticity, both in the static and in the quasistatic setting. The model contemplates a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation: while deformations are defined on the reference…
The study of fractional variational problems in terms of a combined fractional Caputo derivative is introduced. Necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type for the basic, isoperimetric, and Lagrange variational problems are…
We consider in this work the problem of minimizing the von Neumann entropy under the constraints that the density of particles, the current, and the kinetic energy of the system is fixed at each point of space. The unique minimizer is a…
We study a quadratic nonlocal variational problem on a hybrid domain formed by a compact interval and finitely many discrete points. The associated energy splits into continuous, discrete, and interface contributions. Our main estimate…
We study problems of the calculus of variations and optimal control within the framework of time scales. Specifically, we obtain Euler-Lagrange type equations for both Lagrangians depending on higher order delta derivatives and…
We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…
