Wikify date June 2010 Functional management is the most common type of organizational management . The organization is grouped by areas of specialty within different functional areas e.g., finance, marketing, and engineering . Some refer to a functional area as a silo. Communication generally occurs within a single department. If information or project work is needed from another department, a request is transmitted up to the department head, who communicates the request to the other department head. Otherwise, communication stays within the department. Team members complete project work in addition to normal department work. The main advantage of this type of organization is that each employee has only one manager, thus simplifying the chain of command ref http www.pmhut.com organization structures in project management Organization Structures in Project Management ref .

In the energy principles in structural mechanics energy methods of simulating the dynamics of complex structures, a state of the system is often described as an element of an appropriate function space . To be in this state, the system pays a certain cost in terms of energy required by the state. This energy is a scalar quantity, a function of the state, hence the term functional . The system tends to develop from the state with higher energy higher cost to the state with lower energy, thus local minima of this functional are usually related to the stable stationary states. Studying such states is part of the optimization mathematics optimization problems , where the terms energy functional or cost functional are often used to describe the objective function.

In mathematics , and particularly in functional analysis , a functional is a map mathematics map from a vector space into its underlying scalar Field mathematics field . In other words, it is a function that takes a vector as its input argument, and returns a Scalar mathematics scalar . Commonly the vector space is a space of functions, thus the functional takes a function for its input argument, then it is sometimes considered a function of a function . Its use originates in the calculus of variations where one searches for a function that minimizes a certain functional. A particularly important application in physics is searching for a state of a system that minimizes the energy functional . Transformations of functions is a rather more general concept, see Operator mathematics .

Functional equation Main Functional equation The traditional usage also applies when one talks about a functional equation, meaning an equation ... unknowns, like when it is said that an additive function math f math is one satisfying the functional equation math f left x y right f left x right f left y right math . Functional derivative and functional integration Functional derivative s are used in Lagrangian mechanics . They are derivatives of functionals i.e. they carry information on how a functional changes, when the function changes by a small amount. See also calculus of variations .
