@ Gjs238 Hi. You added the tag Template:Research paper without an explanation of what concerns you. Can you help me improve the article? I believe we need an overview of this topic that provides summaries of the many related wikipedia articles and context to relate them. Do you disagree with this goal? Is there a better way to achieve it? Johnjbarton ( talk) 16:36, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I propose to merge stationary action principle into this article, action principles.
The terminology of action principles is inconsistent between sources. This issue is discussed in History_of_variational_principles_in_physics#action_principle_names. For the purpose of the merge, the important part is that "stationary action principle" is not universal or maybe even commonly used. The name "action principles" encompasses all of the names.
The content in stationary action principle is contained in action principles. Summaries of the various articles in wikipedia about action are included in action principles. Consequently redirecting stationary action principle to action principles should be an improvement. Johnjbarton ( talk) 18:36, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
What is the purpose of this figure? 210.61.187.232 ( talk) 11:04, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
The example about elliptical orbits of planets shows that the minimum may not be uniquely attained (both paths have the same least action). Can you give an example of a saddle point in terms of action? (i.e., a critical point where some perturbation may increase the action and some other may decrease it) 210.61.187.232 ( talk) 11:17, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
