Elimination of Jacobi equation in extremal variational problems


Abstract

It is shown that the extremal problem for the one-dimensional Euler-Lagrange variational functional in ${C^1[a;b]}$ under a strengthened Legendre condition can be solved without using the Jacobi equation. In this case, exactly one of the two possible cases requires a restriction to the length of $[a;b]$, defined only by the form of the integrand. The result is extended to the case of compact extremum in ${H^1[a;b]}$.
