=== Variational formulation ===
In the Proper Generalized Decomposition method, the [[variational formulation]] involves translating the problem into a format where the solution can be approximated by [[Optimization problem|minimizing (or sometimes maximizing)]] a [[Functional (mathematics)|functional]]. A functional is a scalar quantity that depends on a function, which in this case, represents our problem.
The most implemented variational formulation in PGD is the [[Bubnov-Galerkin method]],<ref name=":0">{{Cite thesis |title=Proper generalised decompositions: theory and applications | url=http://orca.cf.ac.uk/73515/| publisher=Cardiff University |date=2015-04-09 |degree=phd | language=en |first=Thomas Lloyd David|last=Croft}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book| last1=Chinesta|first1=Francisco| url=https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319028644| title=The Proper Generalized Decomposition for Advanced Numerical Simulations: A Primer| last2=Keunings|first2=Roland| last3=Leygue|first3=Adrien| date=2014| publisher=Springer International Publishing |isbn=978-3-319-02864-4 | series=SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology| language=en}}</ref> although other implementations exist.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01926078/document |title=Advanced strategies for the separated formulation of problems in the Proper Generalized Decomposition framework| last=Aguado | first=José Vicente| date=18 Nov 2018}}</ref><ref name=":0" />▼
▲The most commonly implemented variational formulation in PGD is the [[Bubnov-Galerkin method]]
In the Bubnov-Galerkin method, we seek an approximate solution that satisfies the integral form of the PDEs over the ___domain of the problem. This is different from directly solving the differential equations. By doing so, the method transforms the problem into finding the coefficients that best fit this integral equation in the chosen function space.
While the Bubnov-Galerkin method is prevalent, other variational formulations are also used in PGD,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Aguado |first=José Vicente |date=18 Nov 2018 |title=Advanced strategies for the separated formulation of problems in the Proper Generalized Decomposition framework |url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-01926078/document}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> depending on the specific requirements and characteristics of the problem, such as:
* '''[[Petrov-Galerkin method|Petrov-Galerkin Method]]''': This method is similar to the Bubnov-Galerkin approach but differs in the choice of test functions. In the Petrov-Galerkin method, the test functions (used to project the residual of the differential equation) are different from the trial functions (used to approximate the solution). This can lead to improved stability and accuracy for certain types of problems.<ref>{{Cite thesis |title=Petrov-Galerkin Proper Generalized Decomposition strategies for convection-diffusion problems |url=https://upcommons.upc.edu/handle/2117/343160 |publisher=Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya |date=2020-06-22 |degree=Master thesis |first=Rafel |last=Perelló i Ribas}}</ref>
* '''[[Collocation method|Collocation Method]]''': In collocation methods, the differential equation is satisfied at a finite number of points in the ___domain, known as collocation points. This approach can be simpler and more direct than the integral-based methods like Galerkin's, but it may also be less stable for some problems.
* '''[[Least-squares method|Least Squares Method]]''': This approach involves minimizing the square of the residual of the differential equation over the ___domain. It is particularly useful when dealing with problems where traditional methods struggle with stability or convergence.
* '''[[Mixed finite element method|Mixed Finite Element Method]]''': In mixed methods, additional variables (such as fluxes or gradients) are introduced and approximated along with the primary variable of interest. This can lead to more accurate and stable solutions for certain problems, especially those involving incompressibility or conservation laws.
* '''[[Discontinuous Galerkin method|Discontinuous Galerkin Method]]''': This is a variant of the Galerkin method where the solution is allowed to be discontinuous across element boundaries. This method is particularly useful for problems with sharp gradients or discontinuities.
