Description

Book Synopsis
Based on lectures delivered at the AMS meeting in 1901, this book describes the progress in calculus of variations. This title describes the landmark results of Weierstrass on sufficient conditions for the extremum of a functional in terms of the second variation. It helps in learning about classical calculus of variations.

Table of Contents
The first variation of the integral $\int_{x_0}^{x_1}F(x,y,y')dx$ The second variation of the integral $\int_{x_0}^{x_1}F(x,y,y')dx$ Sufficient conditions for an extremum of the integral $\int_{x_0}^{x_1}F(x,y,y')dx$ Weierstrass's theory of the problem in parameter representation Kneser's theory Weierstrass's theory of the isoperimetric problems Hilbert's existence theorem Index.
