Our Problem Formulation • Our problem formulation is based on finding a variable/function that minimizes a given energy. So, our target is to find: Maximization will be straightforward by finding the minimization of –F. Euler-Lagrange equations help us solve this problem.
1D Euler-Lagrange (Cont…) This is called Euler-Lagrange equation. It is obvious that our target to solve for ɸ for minimization.
