Incremental least action principle in the framework of thermodynamics of irreversible processes
In this paper, an incremental least action principle is proposed using the framework of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. First, we establish that an extensive thermodynamic potential defined over an infinitesimal volume satisfies a differential conservation law with close similarities t...
