Variational problems in differential geometry : University of Leeds, 2009 / edited by R. Bielawski, K. Houston, J.M. Speight.
"The field of geometric variational problems is fast-moving and influential. These problems interact with many other areas of mathematics and have strong relevance to the study of integrable systems, mathematical physics and PDEs. The workshop 'Variational Problems in Differential Geometry' held in...
