Abstract
This article develops a duality principle and a related convex dual formulation suitable for the local optimization of a non-convex primal formulation for a large class of models in physics and engineering. The results are based on standard tools of functional analysis, calculus of variations and duality theory. In particular, we develop applications to a Ginzburg-Landau type equation.
