We develop the calculus of variations on time scales for a functional that is the composition of a certain scalar function with the delta and nabla integrals of a vector valued field. Euler-Lagrange equations, transversality conditions, and…
It was claimed recently that a low order post-Newtonian (PN) Lagrangian formulation, which corresponds to the Euler-Lagrange equations up to an infinite PN order, can be identical to a PN Hamiltonian formulation at the infinite order from a…
In this paper, we examine higher order difference problems. Using the "squeezing" argument, we derive both Euler's condition and the transversality condition. In order to derive the two conditions, two needed assumptions are identified. A…
