The Rocket Problem in General Relativity

TL;DR: The covariant optimality conditions for rocket trajectories in general relativity are derived, with and without a bound on the magnitude of the proper acceleration, to solve two specific problems: the minimum fuel consumption transfer between two galaxies in a FLRW model and between two stable circular orbits in the Schwarzschild spacetime.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculus of variations in the context of exterior differential systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach to the study of variational problems defined through functionals given by multiple integrals is presented, based on techniques from the theory of exterior differential systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Well-posed variational problem with mixed endpoint conditions

TL;DR: In this paper, conditions for the Lagrange with non-holonomic constraints to be a well-posed problem with mixed endpoint conditions are formulated and the construction of a field is analyzed and adjusted to these cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inverse problem of variational calculus and the problem of mixed endpoint conditions

TL;DR: Inverse problem of calculus of variations with nonholonomic constraints was studied in this article, where Griffiths established mixed endpoint conditions for variational problems with non-holonomic constraint.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inverse Problem of Variational Calculus

TL;DR: In this paper, the mixed endpoint conditions for variational problems with nonholonomic constraints given by form actions of order greater than one are discussed and the inverse problem of Calculus of Variations is discussed.
