Ray mappings and the weighted least action principle
Abstract Two basic problems in optics are presented. The solutions to both problems are formulated in terms of the associated ray mappings. An alternative formulation based on a weighted sum of the actions along the rays is derived. Existence of solutions is established via the Weighted Least Action...
