General second order conditions for extrema of functionals
Abstract
We prove both necessary and sufficient second order conditions of extrema for variational problems involving any higher order continuously twice differentiable Lagrangians with multi-valued dependent functions of several variables. Our analysis is performed in the framework of the finite dimensional total jet space.
