On a class of Variational-Hemivariational Inequalities involving set valued mappings. (arXiv:0904.4001v1 [math.CA])
Authors: Nicusor Costea , Cezar Lupu
Using the KKM technique, we establish some existence results for
variational-hemivariational inequalities involving monotone set valued mappings
on bounded, closed and convex subsets in reflexive Banach ...
The Cosmology of Ricci-Tensor-Squared Gravity in the Palatini VariationalApproach. (arXiv:0707.2664v2 [gr-qc] UPDATED)
We consider the cosmology of the Ricci-tensor-squared gravity in the Palatini
variational approach. The gravitational action of standard general relativity
is modified by adding a function f(R^abR_ab) to the ...

Calculus of Variations. The existence proofs involve sophisticated tools from
nonlinear analysis and have required new variational methods which are now
applied to other problems.

We pursue the development and application of the recently-introduced linear
optimization method for determining the optimal linear and nonlinear parameters
of Jastrow-Slater wave functions in a variationalMonte Carlo framework. In
this approach, the optimal parameters are found iteratively by diagonalizing
the Hamiltonian matrix in the space spanned by the wave function and its
first-...
... all games. They won the tournament. In one round I played a skinny kid from the University of Delaware. I could sense his arrogance over the board, felt like a hot breeze. He played for traps, variational traps and he won 2 pawns right in the opening. The hot breeze was growing stronger. I crushed him in a 2 pawn down endgame. My teamates rejoiced.

We consider the problem of varying conformally the metric of a four
dimensional manifold in order to obtain constant $Q$-curvature. The problem is
variational, and solutions are in general found as critical points of saddle
type. We show how the problem leads naturally to consider the set of formal
barycenters of the manifold.

... of compactness, for example due to a domain with infinite measure
or a lower order term with critical growth. As an application, we obtain a
characterization of properness which is considerably easier to verify than the
definition. The methods presented can also be used to check Palais--Smale
conditions for variational problems.
