An Entity of Type: software, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A variational principle in physics is an alternative method for determining the state or dynamics of a physical system, by identifying it as an extremum (minimum, maximum or saddle point) of a function or functional. This article describes the historical development of such principles.
