Variational principles for some nonlinear partial differential equations with variable coefficients. (English) Zbl 1135.35303

The author suggests a method to search for various variational principles for physical problems. The most interesting features of the proposed method, compared with Noether’s theorem, are its extreme simplicity and concise results for a wide range of nonlinear problems.
