Abstract

The formulation and discussion of the simplest (fixed) end point direct problem of the calculus of Variation is a necessary preliminary to attack on the inverse problems considered in Chapters II and III of this thesis. Since the plane problem is already comprehensively treated in the literature, only enough of its theory is developed here to render intelligible to the reader the inverse problems studied in the sequel.
