A variational problem for curves on Riemann-Finsler surfaces

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the variational problem for NN-parallel curves on a Finslerian surface by means of Exterior Differential Systems using Griffiths' method. We obtain the conditions when these curves are extremals of a length functional and write the explicit form of Euler-Lagrange equations for this type of variational problem.
