Necessary optimality conditions for the calculus of variations on time scales
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study more general variational problems on time scales. Previous results are generalized by proving necessary optimality conditions for (i) variational problems involving delta derivatives of more than the first order, and (ii) problems of the calculus of variations with delta-differential side conditions (Lagrange problem of the calculus of variations on time scales).

We study a multiobjective variational problem on time scales. For this problem, necessary and sufficient conditions for weak local Pareto optimality are given. We also prove a necessary optimality condition for the isoperimetric problem with multiple constraints on time scales.

متن کاملStrong Minimizers of the Calculus of Variations on Time Scales and the Weierstrass Condition
We introduce the notion of strong local minimizer for the problems of the calculus of variations on time scales. Simple examples show that on a time scale a weak minimum is not necessarily a strong minimum. A time scale form of the Weierstrass necessary optimality condition is proved, which enables to include and generalize in the same result both continuous-time and discrete-time conditions. M...
متن کاملGeneralizing the variational theory on time scales to include the delta indefinite integral
We prove necessary optimality conditions of Euler–Lagrange type for generalized problems of the calculus of variations on time scales with a Lagrangian depending not only on the independent variable, an unknown function and its delta derivative, but also on a delta indefinite integral that depends on the unknown function. Such kind of variational problems were considered by Euler himself and ha...
متن کاملThe Second Euler-Lagrange Equation of Variational Calculus on Time Scales
The fundamental problem of the calculus of variations on time scales concerns the minimization of a deltaintegral over all trajectories satisfying given boundary conditions. In this paper we prove the second Euler-Lagrange necessary optimality condition for optimal trajectories of variational problems on time scales. As an example of application of the main result, we give an alternative and si...
