The Calculus of Variations April 23, 2007 The lectures focused on the Calculus of Variations. As part of optimization theory, the Calculus of Variations originated in 1696 when Johann Bernoulli posed the brachistochrone problem.

Y 1 2 0 X Figure 5: The surface of revolution for the soap example There is a second problem of the calculus of variations, of a geometrical-mechanical type, which the principles of the calculus readily enable us to express also in analytic form.

The main goal of the book is to study the lower semicontinuity, relaxation and integral representation results for several kinds of problems in the Calculus of Variations, though it does not deal with these problems in the space of functions with bounded variation.
