Abstract

For Lagrange problems of the calculus of variations we prove wellposedness criteria in Tikhonov’s sense and with respect to small perturbations of the boundary data. The integrand depends of the gradient only. No convexity assumption is required in the sufficient conditions for wellposedness.
