The principle is deduced from an energy-like trial functional with a certain unknown function, which can be identified step by step. A family of various variational principles for the discussed problem is also obtained for differential applications. Present theory provides a quite straightforward tool to the search for various variational principles for physical problems. This paper aims at providing a more complete theoretical basis for the finite element applications, meshfree particle methods, and other direct variational methods such as Ritz's, Trefftz's and Kantorovitch's methods UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JYMWEgrL_Op3coSPYJj2nQ3lrImh8M_f/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
