  Thermodynamic free energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a linear combination of the energy and the entropy of a system, yielding a thermodynamic state function which represents the "useful energy".
The free energy functions are Legendre transforms of the internal energy.
Any decrease in the Gibbs function of a system is the upper limit for any isothermal, isobaric work that can be captured in the surroundings, or it may simply be dissipated, appearing as T times a corresponding increase in the entropy of the system and/or its surrounding.

Departure functions represent the change at constant temperature between the values of the functions in the ideal gas and the real gas states (enthalpy in [4]).
To the author, residual functions represent the same idea, but the change is to an hypothetical, ideal state at the same pressure and temperature as the real system.
The Helmholtz function may be manipulated using the definition of ideal changes in internal energy as in [8].

 Helmholtz equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Helmholtz equation, which represents the time-independent form of original equation, results from applying the technique of separation of variables to reduce the complexity of the analysis.
Because of its relationship to the wave equation, the Helmholtz equation arises in problems in such areas of physics as the study of electromagnetic radiation, seismology, and acoustics.
The Helmholtz equation was solved for many basic shapes in the 19th century: the rectangular membrane by Siméon Denis Poisson in 1829, the equilateral triangle by Gabriel Lamé in 1852, and the circular membrane by Alfred Clebsch in 1862.

 Helmholtz free energy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In thermodynamics, the Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potential which measures the "useful" work obtainable from constant temperature, constant volume thermodynamic systems.
The Helmholtz free energy was developed by Hermann von Helmholtz and is denoted by the letter A  (from the German "Arbeit" or work), or the letter F .
With this definition, we may say that the negative of the Helmholtz energy is the maximum amount of work energy available from a system in which the initial and final states have the same temperature and number of particles.

 Thermodynamic Direction of Biological Evolution: Model and Reality
Indirect and direct evidence of the trend to a minimal Gibbs specific function of formation of the supramolecular structures in animal tissues during ontogenesis are presented.
Functioning of the biological systems, e.g., biological tissue, is possible on the condition of their sufficient "permeability" for the matter-building material of the supramolecular structure.
In accordance with the presented model, the biological system is swollen under the normal physiological conditions during ontogenesis and, according to equations (3) and (4), it is enriched with energy-consuming chemical substances, which force water from the biological tissue.

The distance functions are well known for their striking effectiveness in multivariate scattered data approximation.
To handle high-dimensional multiscale scattered data and PDE systems, the distance function wavelets (DFW) are mostly wanted to combine the strengths of both distance function and wavelets.
The convection-diffusion DFW applies the ridge function and is very suitable to deal with the problems with the preferred direction such as the so-called track data problems.

 Termodynamic Trends in Biological Evolution
In this model, the tendency toward a minimum of the specific Gibbs function of the formation of supramolecular structures of living organisms causes variations in the chemical composition and structure of living systems.
It is shown that, during the course of ontogenesis and phylogenesis, as well as long-lasting stages in the evolution of the organic world, the biosystems (as a result of the thermodynamic direction of evolutionary processes of the formation of supramolecular structures) are enriched with energy-intensive chemical substances, which displace water from these biosystems.
The biosystem periodically expands and contracts, as it were, absorbing and expelling matter, i.e., it is a living "sponge" functioning against a background of relatively small fluctuations of T, p, concentrations of chemical substances, and other parameters of the relevant thermostat, with regard to some of the averaged values of these parameters.

However, highly-evanescent surface waves (Section 6.1.3) form another set of eigensolutions, which we call `spurious solutions' (they are not relevant to the Dirichlet billiard problem).
