Energy Functional

An Energy Functional is a mathematical functional, belonging to the class of variational functionals, that assigns a scalar value representing the total energy of a physical or mechanical system to each admissible configuration in a function space, distinguished by its role in characterizing equilibrium states through the principle of stationary action or minimum energy.
