Abstract: We prove that on the condition of non-trivial solutions, the Euler-Lagrange and Noether equations are equivalent for the variational problem of nonlinear Poisson equation and a class of more general Lagrangians, including position independent and of p-Laplacian type. As applications we prove certain propositions concerning the nonlinear Poisson equation and its generalisations, the equivalence of admissible and inner variations and discuss the inverse problem of determining the Lagrangian from conservation or symmetry laws.
