Note that the Euler-Lagrange equation is only a necessary condition for the existence of an extremum (see the remark following Theorem 1.4.2). However, in many cases, the Euler-Lagrange equation by itself is enough to give a complete solution of the problem. In fact, the existence of an extremum is sometimes clear from the context of the problem.
