Abstract
Here we are concerned with minima and maxima of functionals of the form
where we think of I[x] as dependent on an n-vector continuous function x(t) = (x1, ... ,xn), t 1 ≤t ≤ t 2, or continuous curve of the form C:x = x(t), t 1 ≤ t ≤ t 2, in R n+1 ,in a suitable class. Actually the subject of our inquiry will go much farther than the mere analysis of minima and maxima of functionals.
