Dec 13, 2012 at 16:27 | comment | added | Robert Bryant | @Aeryk: Well, I don't know that I could say the best place to look, to tell the truth. There are many books and papers on the inverse problem in the calculus of variations, so you might search on that topic. Classical authors who come to mind are Lie, Liouville, Dini, Darboux, Carathéodory (of course), Zermelo, and Bolza. More recent authors who have written on this are Olver, Anderson, Thompson, and so on. You may find, though, that they'll take you on a long journey before answering your specific question, so I'll summarize what you have to do in your case by adding to my answer above. | |
