One-dimensional Variational Problems - Buttazzo, Giuseppe (Professor, Professor) a Giaquinta, Mariano (Professor, Professor, both at University of Pisa, Italy) a Hildebrandt, Stefan (Professor, Professor, University of Bonn, Germany)

This book combines the efforts of a distinguished team of authors, who are all renowned mathematicians and expositors, and provides a modern introduction to the calculus of variations. By focusing on the one-dimensional case it remains relatively free of technicalities, and therefore provides a useful overview of the theory at a level suitable for graduate students.
