Variational principle for boundary perturbation in diffusion theory

  • 1. Georgia Inst. of Technology, Atlanta, GA (United States)

Description

Variational estimates are developed in diffusion theory for calculating the first-order change in the eigenvalue due to a small change in the external boundary of the system. First-order perturbation methods have been developed to treat boundary perturbations in reactor physics. The purpose of this paper is to introduce new variational principles as an alternative method for estimating the perturbed eigenvalue in diffusion theory
