Finally, we study some examples to highlight the potential of this approach.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-06-27T07:03:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03H05", "26E35", "28E05", "46S20" ], "keywords": [ "variational problems", "generalized solutions", "applications", "ultrafunctions", "hyperreal field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 23, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
