"Euler-Lagrange equation" meaning in All languages combined

See Euler-Lagrange equation on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: Euler-Lagrange equations [plural]
Etymology: Named after the Swiss mathematician and physicist Leonhard Euler (1707–1783), and the Italian-born French mathematician and astronomer Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736–1813). Head templates: {{en-noun}} Euler-Lagrange equation (plural Euler-Lagrange equations)
  1. (mechanics, analytical mechanics) A differential equation which describes a function mathbf q(t) which describes a stationary point of a functional, S( mathbf q)=∫L(t, mathbf q(t), mathbf ̇q(t)),dt, which represents the action of mathbf q(t), with L representing the Lagrangian. The said equation (found through the calculus of variations) is ∂L/∂ mathbf q=d/dt∂L/∂ mathbf ̇q and its solution for mathbf q(t) represents the trajectory of a particle or object, and such trajectory should satisfy the principle of least action.
