A generalized variational principle has been formulated which takes the phonon distribution functions and the external magnetic field into account, is valid for an arbitrary direction of the electric field and polarization of the lattice vibrations, and does not depend on any special form of the energy surfaces. The various transport coefficients, for both thermoelectric and thermomagnetic phenomena, are obtained by the Ritz method in terms of infinite determinants without requiring an explicit solution of the transport equations.

In this Open Forum, Liu et al. proved the equivalence between He-Lee 2009 variational principle and that by Tao and Chen (Tao, Z. L., Chen, G. H., Thermal Science, 17(2013), pp. 951-952) for one dimensional heat conduction. We confirm the correction of Liu et al.?s proof, and give a short remark on the history of the semi-inverse method for establishment of a generalized variational principle.

This paper discusses the symmetry decoupling in quantum mechanical algebraic variational scattering calculations by the generalized Newton variational principle. Symmetry decoupling for collisions involving identical particles is briefly discussed. Detailed discussion is given to decoupling from evaluation of matrix elements with nonzero total angular momentum. Example numerical calculations are presented for BrH2 and DH2 systems to illustrate accuracy and efficiency.
