Multiple integral problems

Optimal control problems involving multiple integrals are constrained by partial differential equations. A general theory similar to the Pontryagin s minimum principle is not available to handle these problems. To find the necessary conditions for the minimum in these problems, we assume that the variations of the involved integrals are weakly continuous and find the equations that eliminate the variation of the augmented objective functional. 

To illustrate the above approach, let us consider the optimal control problem of determining the concentration-dependent diffusivity in a non-volatile liquid, as described in Section 1.3.4 (p. 9). 

The objective is to find the diffusivity function (gas diffusivity versus its concentration in liquid) that minimizes the error between the experimental and the calculated mass of gas absorbed in liquid, i.e.. 

The calculated mass of gas in liquid is governed by the state equation, i.e.. Equation (1.16) on p. 9, which is expressed as 

Recall from Section 4.3 (p. 88) that it means having continuous partial derivatives of the integrands — a precondition for the Lagrange Multiplier Rule.

At the end of Section 8.16 we mentioned that the Fock representation avoids the use of multiple integrations of coordinate space when dealing with the many-body problem. We can see here, however, that the new method runs into complications of its own To handle the immense bookkeeping problems involved in the multiple -integrals and the ordered products of creation and annihilation operators, special diagram techniques have been developed. These are discussed in Chapter 11, Quantum Electrodynamics. The reader who wishes to study further the many applications of these techniques to problems of quantum statistics will find an ample list of references in a review article by D. ter Haar, Reports on Progress in Physics, 24,1961, Inst, of Phys. and Phys. Soc. (London).

Chapter integration problems require students to use information from multiple chapters to reach a solution. These problems reinforce awareness of the interconnectedness of the different aspects of biochemistry. 

Only some of the important works for distributed systems control shall be reviewed here. Since Butkovskii results require the explicit solution of the system equations, this restricts the results to linear systems. This drawback was removed by Katz (1964) who formulated a general maximum principle which could be applied to first order hyperbolic systems and parabolic systems without representing the system by integral equations. Lurie (1967) obtained the necessary optimality conditions using the methods of classical calculus of variations. The optimization problem was formulated as a Mayer-Bolza problem for multiple integrals. 

Integrative Problems combine concepts from multiple chapters. 

By now it should be clear that this kind of operator algebra can be a useful method for generating integrators. We show, in the following, how it can be applied to generate a wide variety of methods for treating the multiple time scale problem. 

Since many systems of interest in chemistry have intrinsic multiple time scales it is important to use integrators that deal efficiently with the multiple time scale problem. Since our multiple time step algorithm, the so-called reversible Reference System Propagator Algorithm (r-RESPA) [17, 24, 18, 26] is time reversible and symplectic, they are very useful in combination with HMC for constant temperature simulations of large protein systems.
