Exercise in Applied Mathematics Logan's Book (functional)












0














From David Logan book (Applied Mathematics) page 175.



Show that Euler Equation for the functional
$$J(y)=int_{a}^{b} f(x,y)sqrt{1+(y')^2)} dx$$
has the form
$$f_y-f_xy'-ffrac{y''}{1+(y')^2}=0$$



I have found that:
$$L_y(x,y,y')=f_ysqrt{1+(y')^2}$$
$$L_{y'}(x,y,y')=f(x,y)frac{y'}{sqrt{1+(y')^2}}$$
$$frac{dL_{y'}(x,y,y')}{dx}=f_{x}(x,y)frac{y'}{sqrt{1+(y')^2}}+f(x,y)frac{y''}{(1+(y')^{2})^{frac{3}{2}}}$$



and finally (by Euler Equation) i have found:
$$f_y(1+(y')^2)-f_xy'-ffrac{y''}{1+(y')^2}=0$$



What wrong with that?

  • I think you missed out the third term in the detivative of $L_{y'}$.

Applying the first variation we get



$$
frac{left(y'(x)^2+1right) left(f_y(x,y(x))-y'(x) f_x(x,y(x))right)-y''(x) f(x,y(x))}{left(y'(x)^2+1right)^{3/2}}=0
$$



or



$$
left(y'(x)^2+1right) left(f_y(x,y(x))-y'(x) f_x(x,y(x))right)-y''(x) f(x,y(x)) = 0
$$



or



$$
f_y(x,y(x))-y'(x) f_x(x,y(x))-frac{y''(x) f(x,y(x))}{y'(x)^2+1} = 0
$$
