ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 49: Calculus of variations and optimal control; optimization Introduction Calculus of variations and optimization seek functions or geometric objects which are optimize some objective function. Certainly this includes a discussion of techniques to find the optima, such as successive approximations or linear programming. In addition, there is quite a lot of work establishing the existence of optima and characterizing them. In many cases, optimal functions or curves can be expressed as solutions to differential equations. Common applications include seeking curves and surfaces which are minimal in some sense. However, the spaces on which the analysis are done may represent configurations of some physical system, say, so that this field also applies to optimization problems in economics or control theory for example.

Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736 - 1813) The greatest mathematician of the 18th century, in his letter, written at 19, to Euler, he solved the isoperimetrical problem, to effect the solution he enunciated the principles of the calculus of variations. http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Lagrange/RouseBall/RB_Lagrange.html

Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736 - 1813) From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Joseph Louis Lagrange , the greatest mathematician of the eighteenth century, was born at Turin on January 25, 1736, and died at Paris on April 10, 1813. His father, who had charge of the Sardinian military chest, was of good social position and wealthy, but before his son grew up he had lost most of his property in speculations, and young Lagrange had to rely for his position on his own abilities. He was educated at the college of Turin, but it was not until he was seventeen that he shewed any taste for mathematics - his interest in the subject being first excited by a memoir by Halley across which he came by accident. Alone and unaided he threw himself into mathematical studies; at the end of a year's incessant toil he was already an accomplished mathematician, and was made a lecturer in the artillery school. The first fruit of Lagrange's labours here was his letter, written when he was still only nineteen, to Euler, in which he solved the isoperimetrical problem which for more than half a century had been a subject of discussion. To effect the solution (in which he sought to determine the form of a function so that a formula in which it entered should satisfy a certain condition) he enunciated the principles of the calculus of variations. Euler recognized the generality of the method adopted, and its superiority to that used by himself; and with rare courtesy he withheld a paper he had previously written, which covered some of the same ground, in order that the young Italian might have time to complete his work, and claim the undisputed invention of the new calculus. The name of this branch of analysis was suggested by Euler. This memoir at once placed Lagrange in the front rank of mathematicians then living.

Software for the Course of Calculus of Variations Ivanov A.G. Keywords: Calculus of variations, educational software, numerical methods. In teaching the course of calculus of variations for students in mechanics at the Ural State University, a serious attention is paid to application of numerical methods in classical model problems. The demonstration software developed with the participation of students is applied. Aerodynamic Newton's problem. The problem consists of searching the generating line y x ) of a rotation-body with the minimum resistance in a flow of rarefied ideal gas. The gas is represented as collection of infinitely small particles which do not mutually collide and are mirror-like reflected having collided with the body. At first, we solve the problem, following [ ], under assumption that the value of y' is small. After, the numerical search of the solution in the class of functions y = x p is demonstrated. Further, in frames of the numerical approach, the program for finding the solution by the Euler method (as a piecewise linear approximation) is demonstrated. Here, the problem is reduced to searching the minimum of the function of many variables. The optimal solution has a corner point [ Problem of the minimum rotation-surface.

In its general form, the calculus of variations concerns quantities for which we wish to find a minimum or a maximum. To make this concrete, let's consider a much simpler problem than the brachistochrone: what's the shortest distance between two points and ? Let the variable represent distance along the path, so that . We wish to find the path such that is a minimum.

15. Calculus Of Variations - Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia calculus of variations. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The key theorem of calculus of variations is the EulerLagrange equation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calculus_of_variations

Calculus of variations From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Calculus of variations is a field of mathematics which deals with functions of functions, as opposed to ordinary calculus which deals with functions of numbers. Such functionals can for example be formed as integrals involving an unknown function and its derivatives. The interest is in extremal functions: those making the functional attain a maximum or minimum value. Some classical problems on curves were posed in this form: one example is the brachistochrone , the path along which a particle would descend under gravity in the shortest time from a given point A to a point B not directly beneath it. Amongst the curves from A to B one has to minimise the expression representing the time of descent. The key theorem of calculus of variations is the Euler-Lagrange equation . This corresponds to the stationary condition on a functional. As in the case of finding the maxima and minima of a function, the analysis of small changes round a supposed solution gives a condition, to first order. It cannot tell one directly whether a maximum or minimum has been found. Variational methods are important in theoretical physics : in Lagrangian mechanics and in application of the principle of stationary action to quantum mechanics . They were also much used in the past in pure mathematics, for example the use of the
