A variational principle for complex boundary value problems
This paper provides a variational formalism for boundary value problems which arise in certain feilds of research such as that of electricity, where the associated boundary conditions contain complex periodic conditions. A functional is provided which embodies the boundary conditions of the problem...

| Summary: | This paper provides a variational formalism for boundary value problems which arise in certain feilds of research such as that of electricity, where the associated boundary conditions contain complex periodic conditions. A functional is provided which embodies the boundary conditions of the problem and hence the expansion (trial) functions need not satisfy any of them. |
