On a method for solving a classical variational problem
Given a smooth function \(F(x,\xi,\eta)\), the problem is to find \(\displaystyle\min_{v\in S}J(v)=\displaystyle\min_{v\in S}\int_0^1 F(x,v,v_x) dx\), where the set \(S\) coincides with one of the following classes: a) \(S= C^1([0,1])\), b) \(S=\{v\in C^1([0,1]):v(0)=\alpha\}\), c) \(S=\{v\in C^1([0,1]):v(0)=\alpha,\;v(1)=\beta\}\) (\(\alpha,\beta\in \mathbb{R}\)). It is assumed that \(F(x,\xi,\eta)\geq \delta |\eta|- K\) (\(\delta>0\), \(K\in \mathbb{R}\)) for \(\xi,\eta\in \mathbb{R}\) and there exists a function \(\varphi(x,\xi,\eta)\) such that \(\frac{d}{dx}\varphi(x,v,v_x)\equiv 0\) for every smooth solution \(v\) to the Euler equation \[ \Phi(x,v,v_x,v_{xx})=\frac{d}{dx}F_{v_x}(x,v,v_x)-F_v(x,v,v_x)=0,\quad x\in (0,1), \] and \(\inf_{x\in[0,1],|\xi|\leq N}|\varphi(x,\xi,\eta)|\to \infty\) for each \(N\) as \(|\eta|\to \infty\). In the cases b) and c), it is proven that there exist a minimizer \(v\) of \(J(v)\) and a solution \(u(t,x)\) to the corresponding initial-boundary value problem for the parabolic equation \[ u_t - \Phi(x,u,u_x,u_{xx})=0 \] such that \(\|u(t,x)-v(x)\|_{C^2[0,1]}\to 0\) as \(t\to \infty\). In the case a), there are the following opportunities: the above functions \(u(t,x)\) and \(v(x)\) exist; there exists a minimizing sequence \(v_n(x)\in C^1[0,1]\) such that \(\min_{x\in [0,1]}|v_n(x)|\to \infty\) and \(J(v_n)\to \inf J(v)\) as \(n\to\infty\); the previous two opportunities are realized simultaneous.
