Integral Equations, Calculus of Variations and its Applications
Integral Equations, Calculus of Variations and its Applications. Instructors: Dr. P. N. Agarwal and Dr. D. N. Pandey, Department of Mathematics, IIT Roorkee. This course is a basic course offered to PG students of Engineering/Science background. It contains Fredholm and Volterra integral equations and their solutions using various methods such as Neumann series, resolvent kernels, Green's function approach and transform methods. It also contains extrema of functional, the Brachistochrone problem, Euler equation, variational derivative and invariance of Euler equations. It plays an important role for solving various engineering sciences problems. Therefore, it has tremendous applications in diverse fields in engineering sciences. (from nptel.ac.in)
Lecture 55 - Variational Problems with Moving Boundaries |
In this lecture we discuss a variation problem where one or both the boundary points are moving and so the arbitrary constants in the general solution of Euler equation have to be obtained from the vanishing of the variation.
