Euler's equation

Japanese: オイラーの方程式 - オイラーのほうていしき(英語表記)Euler’s equation
Euler's equation
Consider the problem (calculus of variations) of minimizing the value of when y = y ( x ) is an unknown function and a function F ( x , y , y ') of x , y , y ' is given. However, the unknown function y ( x ) satisfies the boundary conditions y ( x0 ) = y0 , y ( x1 ) = y1 . Now, consider the family of functions ( x ) = y ( x ) + εz ( x ) with any function z ( x ) that is 0 at the endpoints x0 , x1 and parameter ε. If y ( x ) is the function that gives the minimum value of Z [ y ], then the function Z [ ] of ε will be minimum for ε=0.

yy(x)が未知関数であって,x,y,y′の関数F(x,y,y′)が与えられているとき,の値を最小にする問題(変分法)を考える。ただし,未知関数y(x)は境界条件y(x0)=y0,y(x1)=y1をみたすものとする。いま,端点x0,x1で0になる任意の関数z(x)とパラメーターεとをもって,関数族Yε(x)=y(x)+εz(x)を考えると,y(x)がZ[y]の最小値を与える関数ならば,εの関数Z[Yε]はε=0に対して最小になる。
