Variational Principles for Hierarchical Systems of Equations

Abstract

A unified construction of variational principles (VP) is applied to hierarchical systems of equations. The adjoint set of equations involved in this construction differ from the original hierarchy set in important ways. Notably, upward and downward nature of hierarchy are reversed between the two sets, as are boundary conditions and, most significantly, whether or not the equations are factorizable. These features may make for ease of solving one of the two sets and thereby for usefulness of the VP themselves that employ both.
