3. Variational form. Hamilton's principle
Let's assume that the configuration can be expressed in terms of n parameters. In configuration space, motion can be represented by a point P, which describes a trajectory. Assume that the system has a Lagrangian L = T – V. The Lagrangian equations can be written as :
Let the integral
