Euler-Lagrange equation
名词 n.
英文释义
名词 n.
- A differential equation which describes a function mathbf q(t) which describes a stationary point of a functional, S( mathbf q)=∫L(t, mathbf q(t), mathbf ̇q(t)),dt, which represents the action of mathbf q(t), with L representing the Lagrangian. The said equation (found through the calculus of variations) is ∂L/∂ mathbf q=d/dt∂L/∂ mathbf ̇q and its solution for mathbf q(t) represents the trajectory of a particle or object, and such trajectory should satisfy the principle of least action.
