Least Action Principle for Mem-Elements

We study the principle of least (stationary) action for mem-elements. The least action principle allows us to derive relationships between the electrical variables for each of the six mem-elements. The principle of least action from modern physics is a natural environment to characterize mem-elements, including various one-period loops in the context of periodic circuits. The time-integrals of Lagrangian lead to the action and coaction quantities and a full characterization of mem-elements with periodic control variables.
