Abstract: Frechet differentials are introduced to decide when a classical variational principle exists for a given nonlinear differential equation. The formalism is applied to the steady‐state Navier‐Stokes equation and the continuity equation, and no variational principle exists unless u × (∇ × u) = 0 or u· ∇u = 0. The concept of an adjoint equation is extended to nonlinear equations and a variational principle is derived for the Navier‐Stokes equation and its adjoint.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for the evaluation of molecular multi-centre spin-orbit integrals of Coulomb, hybrid and exchange types using cartesian gaussian functions is presented.
Abstract: A method is presented for the evaluation of molecular multi-centre spin-orbit integrals of Coulomb, hybrid and exchange types using cartesian gaussian functions. It is shown that if gaussian bases are employed the spin-same-orbit integrals reduce to one-electron field integrals and the spin-other-orbit integrals to two-electron field integrals. The final formulae for these integrals are found to be convenient for computer programming. Some relationships among the nuclear attraction, the field and the field-gradient integrals as well as among the electronic repulsion, the two-electron field, and the zero-field splitting integrals are discussed in connection with the spin-orbit integrals. Some calculations are carried out for the radicals CH2 and NH.

TL;DR: In this article, the identity of the kernel in equation (1) was used to solve the problem of equation (2) using Copson's identity and the technique of interchanging the orders of integration.
Abstract: In a recent paper Cooke [1] obtained a solution of the integral equation by using the identity and the technique, first used by Copson, of interchanging the orders of integration and hence reducing the problem to that of the successive solution of two Abel integral equations. It is also shown in [1] that the above identity can also be used to solve the dual series equations The kernel in equation (1) is a particular member of a general class of kernels which the author [6] has shown to be such that the resulting integral equation is directly soluble by using Copson's technique. The particular example of equation (1) is given in [6] and the identity of equation (2) was used by the author [7] to obtain the solution of equation (3).

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the solutions of a wave equation which describes a spin-zero particle in the Coulomb field of a nucleus and analyzed its asymptotic properties.
Abstract: We have studied the solutions of a wave equation which describes a spin‐zero particle in the Coulomb field of a nucleus. An interesting feature of this equation is that the kernel is not of the Fredholm type. The behavior of the momentum space wavefunction for large momentum is not determined solely by the angular momentum state but, as in the cases of the Dirac and Klein‐Gordon equations, it depends on the electric charge as well. Our analysis of the asymptotic properties is based on a Mellin transformation of the momentum space equation. This leads to a singular integral equation with a Cauchy‐type kernel which may be treated by standard methods. The equation is shown to have unique solutions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a semi-infinite strip held rigidly on its short end is considered, and the effect of material properties on the stress intensity factor is presented, where an exact formulation of the problem in terms of a singular integral equation is provided.
Abstract: A semi-infinite strip held rigidly on its short end is considered. Loads in the strip at infinity (far away from the fixed end) are prescribed. Integral transform technique is used to provide an exact formulation of the problem in terms of a singular integral equation. Stress singularity at the strip corner is obtained from the singular integral equation which is then solved numerically. Stresses along the rigid end are determined and the effect of the material properties on the stress intensity factor is presented. The method can also be applied to the problem of a laminate composite with a flat inclusion normal to the interfaces.
