ON THE SEMI-INVERSE METHOD AND VARIATIONAL PRINCIPLE

Abstract

In this Open Forum, Liu et al. proved the equivalence between He-Lee 2009 variational principle and that by Tao and Chen (Tao, Z. L., Chen, G. H., Thermal Science, 17(2013), pp. 951-952) for one dimensional heat conduction. We confirm the correction of Liu et al.'s proof, and give a short remark on the history of the semi-inverse method for establishment of a generalized variational principle.
