Hello.
I am using the package Calculus`VariationalMethods`,
to try to find the solutions of the functional:
J (y) =Integral[ f (x,y,y',y'',...)dx], a=< x =<b,
y(a)=a1, y(b)=b1, y'(a)=a2, y'(b)=b2, y''(a)=a3, y''(b)=b3,...
I have wrote this function:
Extremal[f_,{a_,b_},yy:{__List}]:=Module[{w=Length[yy]-1,q,s},
q=Table[Derivative[n][y]/@{a,b},{n,0,w}]//Flatten;
q=Thread[q==Flatten[yy]];
s=EulerEquations[f,y[x],x];
s=Prepend[q,s];
DSolve[s,y[x],x]]
To resolve the functional:
J(y)=Integral[(360 x^2 y-y''^2)dx],
0=< x =<1,y(0)=0,y(1)=0,y'(0)=0,y'(1)=5/2;
We do:
Extremal[360 x^2 y[x]-y''[x]^2,{0,1},{{0,0},{0,5/2}}]
We get : {{y[x]-> 1/2(2 x- 6 x^2 + 3 x^3 + x^6)}}, which is correct.
But, if I put this function inside a Package, like that:
BeginPackage["Extremal`"]
Extremal;
Begin["`Private`"]
Needs["Calculus`VariationalMethods`"]
Extremal[...]:=Module[{},...]
End[]
EndPackage[]
Then is NOT working. Why?
Thanks
Abel
