2.4.6 N-Dimensional Lagrange Problem<br />

The concepts of Sections (2.4.1) to (2.4.5) which have been developed<br />

in connection with minimizing the integral<br />

X,9 fi<br />

J =f f(x, y, y”dy<br />

%9)1.<br />

where y is a SCalar (l-dimensiona variable, can be extended to the case<br />

in which y is an n dimensional vector<br />

(2.4.56)<br />

(2.4.58)<br />

Then, following a procedure identical to that employed in Eqs. (2.4.20) to<br />

(2.4.24) but with the scalar t( replaced by the vector y as indicated in<br />

Eq. (2.4.56), it can be shown that'RcX,y) satisfies the equation<br />

(2.4.60)<br />

where superscript T denotes the transpose <strong>and</strong> a,R <strong>and</strong> ' are the vectors<br />
