Time-dependent variational principle and reciprocity theorem for transport-relaxation equations

The variational principle yields a linear second order differential equation which factorizes, if the coefficient matrices are Onsager-symmetric. The choice t 2=+∞ for the upper integration limit restricts the solutions to those obeying linear first order transport-relaxation equation. The reciproci...

Description
Summary:The variational principle yields a linear second order differential equation which factorizes, if the coefficient matrices are Onsager-symmetric. The choice t 2=+∞ for the upper integration limit restricts the solutions to those obeying linear first order transport-relaxation equation. The reciprocity theorem from Waldmann is generalized to the time-dependent case.
