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...

The credit for introducing the geometry of Lagrange spaces and their subspaces goes to the famous Romanian geometer Miron 1 . He developed the theory of subspaces of a Lagrange space together with Bejancu 2 . Miron and Anastasiei 3 and Sakaguchi 4 studied the subspaces of generalized Lagrange spaces GL spaces in short . Antonelli and Hrimiuc 5, 6 introduced the concept of φ-Lagrangians and stud...

We give a survey of the Lagrange inversion formula, including different versions and proofs, with applications to combinatorial and formal power series identities.

Kyparisis proved in 1985 that a strict version of the MangasarianFromovitz constraint qualification (MFCQ) is equivalent to the uniqueness of Lagrange multipliers. However, the definition of this strict version of MFCQ requires the existence of a Lagrange multiplier and is not a constraint qualification (CQ) itself. In this note we show that LICQ is the weakest CQ which ensures (existence and) ...

In the present paper, some finite element softwares about interaction of dam and reservoir during earthquake in time domain are discussed. Impedance option is used as boundary condition of absorbent of reservoir and wave. For each software, time history analysis of pressure and displacement are done and finally suitable elements for dam structure and reservoir fluid are introduced comparing the...

This paper is devoted to a sharp investigation of the notion of Lagrange's resolvent and his connections with Galois Theory.

in this paper we demonstrate the existence of a set of polynomials pi , 1 i  n , which arepositive semi-definite on an interval [a , b] and satisfy, partially, the conditions of polynomials found in thelagrange interpolation process. in other words, if a  a1  an  b is a given finite sequence of realnumbers, then pi (a j )  ij (ij is the kronecker delta symbol ) ; moreover, the sum of ...

Necessary conditions of extremum (from the times of Fermat and Lagrange till our times) for extremal problems where smoothness is interlaced with convexity, and some type of regularity takes place, correspond to a unique general principle, which is due to Lagrange. This report is devoted to the Lagrange principle in the theory of optimization.

The study of fractional variational problems with derivatives in the sense of Caputo is a recent subject, the main results being Agrawal’s necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange and respective transversality conditions. Using Agrawal’s Euler-Lagrange equation and the Lagrange multiplier technique, we obtain here a Noether-like theorem for fractional optimal control problems in the se...
