Abstract
Reconsidering the variational procedure for uniaxial systems modeled b y continuous free energy functionals, we derive new general conditions for thermodynamic extrema. The utility of these conditions is briefly illustrated on the models for the classes I and II of incommensurate- commensurate systems.
