An analytic study on the Euler-Lagrange equation arising in calculus of variations
The Euler-Lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. This paper employs the differential transformation method (DTM) for finding the solution of the Euler-Lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. DTM provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. S...

Under some regularity assumptions on the boundary datum u (assumptions automatically satisfied in the classical case when the growth of the integrand is bounded by a+ b‖ξ‖), we prove the validity of the Euler Lagrange equation for the functional

Under the bounded slope condition on the boundary values of a minimization problem for a functional of the gradient of u, we show that a continuous minimizer w is, in fact, Lipschitzian. An application of this result to prove the validity of the Euler Lagrange equation for w is presented.

ABSTRACT: A prismatic beam made of a behaviorally nonlinear material situated on nonlinear elastic foundation is analyzed under a moving harmonic load moving with a known velocity. The vibration equation of motion is derived using Hamilton principle and Euler Lagrange equation. The amplitude of vibration, circular frequency, bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam can be calculat...
متن کاملThe Higher Integrability and the Validity of the Euler-Lagrange Equation for Solutions to Variational Problems
We prove higher integrability properties of solutions to the problem of minimizing ∫ Ω L(x, u(x),∇u(x))dx, where ξ → L(x, u, ξ) is a convex function satisfying some additional conditions. As an application, we prove the validity of the Euler–Lagrange equation for a class of functionals with growth faster than exponential.
