Review text

The authors discuss necessary conditions for the existence of the solutions of the following optimization problem: \[ \min_{u\in \mathcal A(V)} \int_0^1 L(t,u(t),u'(t)) dt + l(u(0),u(1)) \] where \(\mathcal A(V) \) is the space of absolutely continuous functions \(u:[0,1]\to V\), with \(V\) a reflexive Banach space; \(L\) is a normal proper integrand in the sense of \textit{R. T. Rockafellar} [Contrib. Nonlin. Functional Analysis, Proc. Sympos. Univ. Wisconsin, Madison 1971, 215-236 (1971; Zbl 0295.49006)] and \(l\) is a proper, lower semicontinuous function. More precisely, they propose a general necessary condition which represents a settlement, by means of a unifying approach, of the results they had already obtained in [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optimization 14, No. 3, 249-263 (1993; Zbl 0807.46025) and Atti Accad. Ligure Sci. Lett. (5) 50, 191-204 (1993)].
