Abstract

The lectures provide an introduction to Calculus of Variations, addressing both classical subjects (action functionals, isoperimetric problems), and modern approaches (direct methods, applications to physics and optimal control). The student will be required to understand the theoretical aspects of the theory, as well as to apply it to specific cases.
