Minimization of functionals defined on classes of surfaces, depending on the area and the curvature of the surface. These functionals arise in the study of minimal surfaces, surfaces with prescribed mean curvature, Willmore's conjecture, non-linear shell theory, image segmentation and surface reconstruction. Methods of geometric measure theory, as Caccioppoli sets, BV functions, rectifiable currents and varifolds are used. Geometric and analytic properties characterizing some classes of subsets of an Euclidean space are investigated with regard to the order of rectifiability.

Tax Law Calculus of variations is a field of mathematics which deals with functions of functions, as opposed to ordinary calculus which deals with functions of numbers. Such functionals can for example be formed as integrals involving an unknown function and its derivatives. The interest is in extremal functions: those making the functional attain a maximum or minimum value. Some classical problems on curves were posed in this form: one example is the brachistochrone , the path along which a particle would descend under gravity in the shortest time from a given point A to a point B not directly beneath it. Amongst the curves from A to B one has to minimise the expression representing the time of descent. The key theorem of calculus of variations is the Euler-Lagrange equation . This corresponds to the stationary condition on a functional. As in the case of finding the maxima and minima of a function, the analysis of small changes round a supposed solution gives a condition, to first order. It cannot tell one directly whether a maximum or minimum has been found. Variational methods are important in theoretical physics : in Lagrangian mechanics and in application of the principle of stationary action to quantum mechanics . They were also much used in the past in pure mathematics, for example the use of the

Problems and Perspectives on the Calculus of Variations: Physics, Economics, and Geometry 20-25 August 2001 in Toronto Registration Lectures and Notes Travel Information Accommodations ... Diversions "Transport me to Toronto!" In recent years the optimal transportation problem of Monge and Kantorovich has been a focal point for exciting mathematical developments combining calculus of variations, partial differential equations, convexity and geometric measure theory, as well as interesting applications to models from physics, geometry, computer vision, earth science and economics. Our aim is to bring together experienced and young researchers working in a diversity of related areas to share their discoveries and discuss open problems and perspectives for the future of this blossoming field. The conference is supported by a U.S. National Science Foundation Focused Research Group on Optimal Transportation, and will be hosted by the Fields Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Toronto, Canada, Monday August 20 - Saturday August 25, 2001. Some funding is available to defray the local expenses of young researchers and scientists without grants.

Chapter 8 CALCULUS OF VARIATIONS Introduction Euler Equation Functions, Functionals and Neighborhoods More Complex Problems ... Problems Constrained Variational Problems top Generally, there are two procedures used for solving variational problems that have constraints. These are the methods of direct substitution and Lagrange multipliers. In the method of direct substitution, the constraint equation is substituted into the integrand; and the problem is converted into an unconstrained problem as was done in Chapter II. In the method of Lagrange multipliers, the Lagrangian function is formed; and the unconstrained problem is solved using the appropriate forms of the Euler or Euler-Poisson equation. However, in some cases the Lagrange multiplier is a function of the independent variables and is not a constant. This is an added complication that was not encountered in Chapter II. Algebraic Constraints top To illustrate the method of Lagrange multipliers, the simplest case with one algebraic equation will be used. The extension to more complicated cases are the same as that for analytical methods:
