Special Geometry-Analysis: Title : A Variational Framework in Multi-physics
by Rolf Ryham (Fordham University) in HB 227
Abstract : we will introduce a variational framework for studying certain systems of evolution PDE. An action, defined in terms of a Legendre type transform of competing energies, is defined and used to derive a class of equations describing a wide range of problems appearing in physics.
