Abstract
Idealized spherical "geons," or gravitational-electromagnetic entities, of the type studied by Wheeler utilizing an electronic calculator, are here studied by using a simple adaptation of the Ritz variational principle. By using the simplest of trial functions, most of the relevant magnitudes are calculated with considerable accuracy.Keywords
