A Numerical Investigation Of The Canonical Duality Method For Non-Convex Variational Problems

This thesis represents a theoretical and numerical investigation of the canonical duality theory, which has been recently proposed as an alternative to the classic and direct methods for non-convex variational problems. These non-convex variational problems arise in a wide range of scientific and en...
