Transversality Condition w/ Right End Point Free & Int. Constraints

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the transversality condition in the context of optimization problems with right end point free and integral constraints within the calculus of variations. Specifically, it addresses the necessary transversality condition for isoperimetric problems with free endpoints. The participants emphasize the importance of understanding the augmented Lagrangian method and its application to these types of problems, highlighting a gap in available resources for this specific topic.

Hi, I've been learning about the calculus of variations this term, and we just covered the transversality condition for an optimization problem with the right end point free, as well as the first necessary condition on the augmented Lagrangian for a problem with integral constraints. I'm wondering what the necessary transversality condition is for a problem with integral contraints with the right end point free. I can't find this information in my textbook or anywhere on the internet, and I have two hunches, though I'm not overwhelmingly confident in either.

to put it another way, I wish to know some information about isoperimetric problems with free endpoints, namely the transversality condition at the free end point
