In view of its field-theoretical basis, this energy functional not only accounts for the relativistic kinematics of both electrons and photons, but, in principle, also for all radiative corrections.

The finite-element method (FEM) is based on shape functions which are defined in each grid cell. The imknown fimction O is locally expanded in a basis of shape fimctions, which are usually polynomials. The expansion coefficients are determined by a Ritz-Galerkin variational principle [80], which means that the solution corresponds to the minimization of a functional form depending on the degrees of freedom of the system. Hence the FEM has certain optimality properties, but is not necessarily a conservative method. The FEM is ideally suited for complex grid geometries, and the approximation order can easily be increased, for example by extending the set of shape fimctions. 

HF (HF) theory is based on the idea that one takes an antisymmetrized product wavefunction and uses the variational principle to obtain the best possible approximation to the A -particle wavefunction that cannot be represented by such a single determinant. Thus, one inserts the single determinant into the Rayleigh-Ritz functional and performs a constraint variation of the orbitals. The results of the variational process are the famous HF equations that are satisfied by each of the orbitals ...

Abstract. An application of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method to solving the Dirac-Coulomb equation, although resulted in many successful implementations, is far from being trivial and there are still many unresolved questions. Usually, the variational principle is applied to this equation in the standard, Dirac-Pauli, representation. All observables derived from the Dirac equation are invariant with respect to the choice of the representation (i.e. to a similarity transformation in the four-dimensional spinor space). However, in order to control the behavior of the variational energy, the trial functions are subjected to several conditions, as for example the kinetic balance condition. These conditions are usually representation-dependent. The aim of this work is an analysis of some consequences of this dependence. 

Emission theory (see the paper by Cyrenika [131] for the principles of emission theory) when c depends of photon energy and speed of the emitter. This is the case of Ritz [30] and other emission theories reviewed by Fox [35]. 

Structural analysis, initially developed on an intuitive basis, later became identified with variational calculus, in which the Ritz procedure is used to minimize a functional derived mathematically or arrived at directly from physical principles. By substituting the final solutions into the variational statement of the problem and minimizing the latter, the FEM equations are obtained. Example 15.2 gives a very simple demonstration of this procedure. 

In bound-state calculations, the Rayleigh-Ritz or Schrodinger variational principle provides both an upper bound to an exact energy and a stationary property that determines free parameters in the wave function. In scattering theory, the energy is specified in advance. Variational principles are used to determine the wave function but do not generally provide variational bounds. A variational functional is made stationary by choice of variational parameters, but the sign of the residual error is not determined. Because there is no well-defined bounded quantity, there is no simple absolute standard of comparison between different variational trial functions. The present discussion will develop a stationary estimate of the multichannel A -matrix. Because this matrix is real and symmetric for open channels, it provides the most...

Entropy in an isolated system increases dS/dt> 0 until it reaches equilibrium dS/dt = 0, and displays a direction of change leading to the thermodynamic arrow of time. The phenomenological approach favoring the retarded potential over the solution to the Maxwell field equation is called the time arrow of radiation. These two arrows of time lead to the Einstein-Ritz controversy Einstein believed that irreversibility is based on probability considerations, while Ritz believed that an initial condition and thus causality is the basis of irreversibility. Causality and probability may be two aspects of the same principle since the arrow of time has a global nature.
