1. Introduction and motivational examples 2. Fundamental lemma of variational calculus 3. Extreme of functional, Euler-Lagrange equations 4. Conditions for the existence of extreme of functional 5. Sturm-Liouville problem and quadratic functional 6. Sobolev spaces 7. Weak solution of boundary value problems for elliptic equations 8. Lax-Milgram theorem 9. Rayleigh-Ritz method 10. Hamilton's principle for discrete systems 11. Hamilton's principle for continuous systems 12. Stability of dynamical systems
The exercises include the solution of specific tasks of the variational calculus - e.g. the problem of the shortest line, the brachistochrone problem, the shape of a liquid drop, the soap film between two coaxial circular rings, the rod deflection, the static deflection of an elastic string, applications of Hamilton’s principle |
