    Optimizing Work: Finding the Minimum Path in Non-Conservative Vector Fields

    I was wondering, if you have a non-conservative vector field (so that the line integral of each path from point A to point B isn't the same) that represents some sort of force, then is there a method to find the path that requires the least amount of work from a designated point A to point B...
