Variational methods in geosciences : proceedings of the International Symposium on Variational Methods in Geosciences held at the University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma on October 15-17, 1985 /
The last few decades have seen a spectacular growth in the use of variational methods, one of the most classic and elegant methods in physical and mathematical sciences, as powerful tools of optimization and numerical analysis. The tremendous accumulation of information on the use of variational met...
