Descrizione del libro

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.

Contenuti

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. Mechanics of solids and fluids; References; Index.
