The variational calculus on time scales [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal for Simulation and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization, 2010
The discrete, the quantum, and the continuous calculus of variations, have been recently unified and extended by using the theory of time scales. Such unification and extension is, however, not unique, and two approaches are followed in the literature ...

Basic calculus of variations [PDF]

open access: yesPacific Journal of Mathematics, 1983
For the classical one-dimensional problem in the calculus of variations, a necessary condition that the integral be lower semicontinuous is that the integrand be convex as a function of the derivative. We shall see that, if the problem is properly posed, then this condition is also necessary for the ^-dimensional problem.
