Inhaltsangabe

Many contemporary mathematical problems, such as geodesics, can be formulated as variational problems in surfaces or in the form of manifolds. Originating as an outgrowth of lectures delivered at Tohoku U. (Japan) and at the U. of Minnesota (U.S.), this monograph introduces some of the fundamental questions and results in geometric variational problems, specifically focusing on the length of curves and the energy of maps. Translated from the Japanese work Kikigakuteki henbun mondai . Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
