Maximum and Minimum Principles - A Unified Approach With Applications

Klappentext This book provides a unified account of the theory required to establish upper and lower bounds. Zusammenfassung In many problems of applied mathematics! science! engineering or economics! an energy expenditure or its analogue can be approximated by upper and lower bounds. This book provides a unified account of the theory required to establish such bounds! by expressing the governing conditions of the problem! and the bounds! in terms of a saddle functional and its gradients. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1. Saddle function problems; 2. Duality and Legendre transformations; 3. Upper and lower bounds via saddle functionals; 4. Extensions of the general approach; 5.
