Weakly nonlocal continuum physics - the Ginzburg-Landau equation
Peter Van
Some peculiarities of the exploitation of the entropy inequality in case of weakly nonlocal continuum theories are investigated and refined. As an example it is shown that the prop…

Lagrange formalism of point-masses
M. Balazs, P. Van
We prove by symmetry properties that the Lagrangian of a free point-mass is a quadratic function of the speed in the non-relativistic case, and that the action of the free point-ma…

Weakly nonlocal irreversible thermodynamics - the Ginzburg-Landau equation
Peter Van
The variational approach to weakly nonlocal thermodynamic theories is critically revisited in the light of modern nonequilibrium thermodynamics. The example of Ginzburg-Landau equa…
