Published by American Mathematical Society, 1999

There is a deep and fundamental relationship between the differential equations that occur in the calculus of variations and partial differential equations of the first order: in particular, to each such partial differential equation there correspond variational problems. This book discusses this basic fact. Series: AMS Chelsea Publishing. Num Pages: 402 pages. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PBKQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 165 x 25.

Synopsis:

In this second English edition of Caratheodory's famous work (originally published in German), the two volumes of the first edition have been combined into one (with a combination of the two indexes into a single index). There is a deep and fundamental relationship between the differential equations that occur in the Calculus of Variations and partial differential equations of the first order: in particular, to each such partial differential equation there correspond variational problems. This basic fact forms the rationale for Caratheodory's masterpiece. Includes a Guide to the Literature and an Index.
