Revised on September 13, 2018. Accepted on October 4, 2019. Most books on Thermodynamics explain what thermodynamic potentials are and how conveniently they describe the properties of physical systems. Certain books add that, to be useful, the thermodynamic potentials must be expressed in their “natural variables”. Here we show that, given a set of physical variables, an appropriate thermodynamic potential can always be defined, which contains all the thermodynamic information about the system. We adopt various perspectives to discuss this point, which to the best of our knowledge has not been clearly presented in the literature.

A. Berezovskiy, Yu. M. Baryshnikov, A. V. Gnedin Institute of Control Sciences Academy of Sciences of the U.S.S.R., Moscow ABSTRACT This paper discusses three problems which are united not only by the common topic of research stated in thetitle, but also by a somewhat surprising interlacing of the methods and techniques used. In the first problem, an attempt is made to resolve a very unpleasant metaproblem arising in general choice theory: why theconditions of rationality are not really necessary or, in other words, why in every-day life we are quite satisfied with choice methods which are far from being ideal. The answer, substantiated by a number of results, is as follows: situations in which the choice function "misbehaves" are very seldom met in large presentations. the second problem, an overview of our studies is given on the problem of statistical propertiesIn of choice. One of themost astonishing phenomenon found when we deviate from scalar­ extremal choice functions is in stable multiplicity of choice. If our presentation is random, then a random number of alternatives is chosen in it. But how many? The answer isn't trival, and may be sought in many differentdirections.

  • Vector Calculus and Differential Forms with Applications To

    Vector Calculus and Differential Forms with Applications To

    Vector Calculus and Differential Forms with Applications to Electromagnetism Sean Roberson May 7, 2015 PREFACE This paper is written as a final project for a course in vector analysis, taught at Texas A&M University - San Antonio in the spring of 2015 as an independent study course. Students in mathematics, physics, engineering, and the sciences usually go through a sequence of three calculus courses before go- ing on to differential equations, real analysis, and linear algebra. In the third course, traditionally reserved for multivariable calculus, stu- dents usually learn how to differentiate functions of several variable and integrate over general domains in space. Very rarely, as was my case, will professors have time to cover the important integral theo- rems using vector functions: Green’s Theorem, Stokes’ Theorem, etc. In some universities, such as UCSD and Cornell, honors students are able to take an accelerated calculus sequence using the text Vector Cal- culus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Forms by John Hamal Hubbard and Barbara Burke Hubbard. Here, students learn multivariable cal- culus using linear algebra and real analysis, and then they generalize familiar integral theorems using the language of differential forms. This paper was written over the course of one semester, where the majority of the book was covered. Some details, such as orientation of manifolds, topology, and the foundation of the integral were skipped to save length. The paper should still be readable by a student with at least three semesters of calculus, one course in linear algebra, and one course in real analysis - all at the undergraduate level.
  • The Halász-Székely Barycenter

    The Halász-Székely Barycenter

    THE HALÁSZ–SZÉKELY BARYCENTER JAIRO BOCHI, GODOFREDO IOMMI, AND MARIO PONCE Abstract. We introduce a notion of barycenter of a probability measure re- lated to the symmetric mean of a collection of nonnegative real numbers. Our definition is inspired by the work of Halász and Székely, who in 1976 proved a law of large numbers for symmetric means. We study analytic properties of this Halász–Székely barycenter. We establish fundamental inequalities that relate the symmetric mean of a list of nonnegative real numbers with the barycenter of the measure uniformly supported on these points. As consequence, we go on to establish an ergodic theorem stating that the symmetric means of a se- quence of dynamical observations converges to the Halász–Székely barycenter of the corresponding distribution. 1. Introduction Means have fascinated man for a long time. Ancient Greeks knew the arith- metic, geometric, and harmonic means of two positive numbers (which they may have learned from the Babylonians); they also studied other types of means that can be defined using proportions: see [He, pp. 85–89]. Newton and Maclaurin en- countered the symmetric means (more about them later). Huygens introduced the notion of expected value and Jacob Bernoulli proved the first rigorous version of the law of large numbers: see [Mai, pp. 51, 73]. Gauss and Lagrange exploited the connection between the arithmetico-geometric mean and elliptic functions: see [BB]. Kolmogorov and other authors considered means from an axiomatic point of view and determined when a mean is arithmetic under a change of coordinates (i.e. quasiarithmetic): see [HLP, p.

Revised on October 8, 2019. Accepted on October 13, 2019. We give an account and a critical analysis of the use of exact and inexact differentials in the early development of mechanics and thermodynamics, and the emergence of differential calculus and how it was applied to solve some mechanical problems, such as those related to the cycloidal pendulum. The Lagrange equations of motions are presented in the form they were originally obtained in terms of differentials from the principle of virtual work. The derivation of the conservation of energy in differential form as obtained originally by Clausius from the equivalence of heat and work is also examined. Keywords: differential, differential calculus, analytical mechanics, thermodynamics. 1. Introduction variable x. If another variable y depends on the indepen- dent variable x, then the resulting increment dy of y is It is usual to formulate the basic equations of thermo- its differential. The quotient of these two differentials, dynamics in terms of differentials. The conservation of dy/dx, was interpreted geometrically by Leibniz as the energy is written as ratio of the ordinate y of a point on a curve and the length of the subtangent associated to this point.
