Is the transformation from x to x' given or what are your symbols supposed to mean?

 

[nenyan]

Yes. It's the transformation from x to x'.
δ is Variational symbol.

Is the transformation from x to x' given or what are your symbols supposed to mean?

 

[vanhees71]

Ok, you must define the meaning of x' or give the complete variational problem. I don't know, what's meant by this symbol!
