Second-Order Sufficient Optimality Conditions in the Calculus of Variations

  • William W. Hager

摘要

Some classic second-order sufficient optimality conditions in the calculus of variations are shown to be equivalent, while also introducing a new equivalent second-order condition which is extremely easy to apply: simply integrate a linear second-order initial value problem and check that the solution is positive over the problem domain.
