Nonclassical Variational Calculus

  • Chapter
Geometric Methods and Optimization Problems

Part of the book series: Combinatorial Optimization ((COOP,volume 4))

Abstract

Classical variational calculus was discovered three hundred years ago. Its development is connected with the names of J. Bernoulli, L. Euler, K. Weierstrass, and other famous mathematicians.
