A variational problem for curves on Riemann-Finsler surfaces (1407.5511v2)
Published 21 Jul 2014 in math.DG
Abstract: We study the variational problem for $N$-parallel curves on a Finslerian surface by means of Exterior Differential Systems using Griffiths' method. We obtain the conditions when these curves are extremals of a length functional and write the explicit form of Euler-Lagrange equations for this type of variational problem.
