Hyers-Ulam Stability of Euler’s Equation in the Calculus of Variations
Abstract
In this paper we study Hyers-Ulam stability of Euler’s equation in the calculus of variations in two special cases: when F=F(x,y′) and when F=F(y,y′). For the first case we use the direct method and for the second case we use the Laplace transform. In the first Theorem and in the first Example the corresponding estimations for Jyx−Jy0x are given. We mention that it is the first time that the problem of Ulam-stability of extremals for functionals represented in integral form is studied.
