Aims of the study

Study of the basic methods for solving classical variational problems. Increase the level of professional competence in solving optimization problems. Further development of students’ skills in abstract mathematical thinking and the ability to apply it in specific tasks, increase their mathematical culture.

As a result of the study, the student should be able to:

– find the minimum and maximum points for functions defined on finite-dimensional spaces;

– construct models of extremal problems in finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces;

– find admissible extremals in the classical variational problem;

– use the second-order conditions for solving problems in the calculus of variations;

– use the necessary condition for a strong extremum in variational problems.
