I am in search for some part of physics that could not be derived from a variational principle.
For the small part of physics I know (CM, Schrödinger), everything can be derived from a variational principle. I would like to know if this is a deep fingerprint of physics or a general consequence from mathematics (like if all DE would admit a VP).
