Functional derivatives worksheet

[HJ Farnsworth]

Greetings,

I want to become more fluent using functional derivatives. Does anyone have a link to sets of problems involving functional derivatives or anything like that (e.g., a worksheet from a class where they were used or something)?

The lengthier the better, and ideally the solutions to the problems would be available as well, so that I could check to make sure that I am using the concepts correctly.

Thanks very much!

If you have not checked here yet, wikipedia has several examples of finding a functional derivative.

Hi Jorriss, thanks for replying.

You are correct. However, I saw that article when I decided I wanted to learn about functional derivatives, so I sort of know those examples and need some new and different ones to practice.

Thanks again!
