We can look for the global minima (or maxima) of the action by considering curves on .
Definition 5.2
A variation of is a map (for some ) such that and the map given by is differentiable. The curve is said to be a critical point of the action if
for any variation of .
Notice that the global minima (or maxima) of must certainly be attained at critical points. However, a critical point is not necessarily a point of minimum (or maximum). It turns out that the critical points of the action are solutions of second-order ODEs.
Theorem 5.3
The curve is a critical point of the action determined by the Lagrangian if and only if it satisfies the Euler–Lagrange equations
