www-users.cse.umn.eduThe history of the calculus of variations is tightly interwoven with the history of math-ematics, [12]. The field has drawn the attention of a remarkable range of mathematical luminaries, beginning with Newton and Leibniz, then initiated as a subject in its own right by the Bernoulli brothers Jakob and Johann. The first major developments ...
