Razzaghi, M.; Razzaghi, M. Fourier series direct method for variational problems. (English) Zbl 0651.49012 Int. J. Control 48, No. 3, 887-895 (1988). Summary: A direct method for solving variational problems using Fourier series is presented. An operational matrix of integration is first introduced and is utilized to reduce a variational problem to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are also given.
