Abstract:

In this paper we study the properties of curves minimizing mechanical Lagrangian where the potential is Sobolev. Since a Sobolev function is only defined almost everywhere, no pointwise results can be obtained in this framework, and our point of view is shifted from single curves to measures in the space of paths. This study is motived by the goal of understanding the properties of variational solutions to the incompressible Euler equations.
