Declining or Waning
- Classical Mechanics Applications:
Research directly related to classical mechanics and its applications in calculus of variations seems to have diminished, as newer topics gain traction. - Elementary Variational Problems:
Basic variational problems that do not incorporate modern techniques or applications are less frequently addressed, indicating a shift towards more complex and applied aspects. - Simplistic PDE Analyses:
Papers focusing solely on elementary PDE analyses without significant variational or geometric context appear to be waning, as the journal emphasizes more advanced and integrative approaches. - Single-Dimensional Problems:
There is a noticeable decline in the publication of papers centered around single-variable variational problems, with a growing preference for multi-dimensional and complex systems. - Historical Perspectives:
Research that primarily discusses historical or classical approaches to variational calculus without new contributions or insights is becoming less common.
