Variational methods in general relativity
ID: variational-methods-in-general-relativity
Variational methods in general relativity are a mathematical framework used to derive the equations of motion and the field equations governing the dynamics of spacetime and matter. These methods rely on the principle of least action, which posits that the physical path taken by a system is the one that minimizes (or extremizes) a quantity known as the action.
