Functions with minimal number of critical points
… category) during research into the global calculus of variation. They showed that this invariant carries important information about both the existence of critical points and the cardinality of the critical set. Further results on Lusternik-Schnirelmann category distract the attention from …

Analysis of Economic Models Through Calculus of Variations
This thesis is a combination of two science fields: Mathematics and Economics. Mathematics is often used to formulate a clear and concise solution to economic problems. In my observation calculus of variation has often been used in various macroeconomic problems. This mathematical method deals with …

A factorization approach for solving the Hamilton-Jacobi equations in nonlinear optimal control
… arose early in the last century in the study of the calculus of variation, classical mechanics and Hamiltonian systems. Recently, there has been a renewed interest in HJEs arising in various analysis and synthesis problems in systems theory. The HJE despite providing a necessary and sufficient …

Fisher Information Test of Normality
An extremal property of normal distributions is that they have the smallest Fisher Information for location among all distributions with the same variance. A new test of normality proposed by Terrell (1995) utilizes the above property by finding that density of maximum likelihood constrained on …

Design and analysis of fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosures with application in upper arm orthosis
… Reinforced Elastomeric Enclosures (FREEs) are soft pneumatic actuators that deform in a predetermined fashion upon inflation. They are constructed using a hollow elastomeric cylinder reinforced by two families of helical fibers. This thesis analyzes the deformation behavior of FREEs by …
