Abstract:
The minimization problems for multiple integrals relative to the set of manifolds with fixed boundary conditions are considered. New constructions for the fields of extremals and new variants of generalized Legendre-Weyl-Caratheodory transforms are introduced and explored. The connection and the curvature of bundles where the integrals are defined, are caclulated.
