Abstract

We consider the justification of formally obtained first order optimality conditions to be satisfied by the minimizer of an integral functional. The functionals with which we are concerned need not be convex and are not differentiable. The principal hypothesis (H1) is merely that the integrand be “locally smooth where finite.”
