2. Rayleigh-Ritz procedure (cont'd)

Recall that we wish to find the \(w(\mathbf{x})\) which minimizes the energy functional \(F(w)\).

Since w = ∑ i = 1 n c i w i , \(F(w)\) is now a function of the \(c_i\).

Minimizing \(F(w)\) over the set of linear combinations of the basis functions corresponds to choosing the \(c_i\) such that \(F\) is minimal. Thus, we take the partial derivative of \(F\) with respect to each \(c_i\) in turn and set it to zero.
