Has anybody ever seen something like this (optimization problem / variational calculus)

Hi all, I'm trying to minimize the following integral : $ \int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{\int_{0}^{x} \sqrt{r(\theta)^2 + r'(\theta)^2}d\theta}{\sin(x)} dx $ with boundary values r(0)=1 and r(pi/2)=0. As yo …

Conditions ensuring extrema are twice continuously differentiable?

For a functional $J[y]=\int_{a}^{b}F(t,y,y')dt$, are there any conditions that ensure extrema over the class of piecewise continuously differentiable functions are all in $C^2[a,b]$?

Proving a variational problem has no solutions

Consider the following integral $ \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left( \sqrt{y(x)^2 + y'(x)^2} \left( \ln \left( \frac{\sin(x)}{1 -\cos(x)} \right) + \frac{\pi}{2} \right) + \frac{\pi}{2} y'(x) + 1 \right …
