A Straightforward Sufficiency Proof for a Nonparametric Problem of Bolza in the Calculus of Variations

We study a variable end-points calculus of variations problem of Bolza containing inequality and equality constraints. The proof of the principal theorem of the paper has a direct nature since it is independent of some classical sufficiency approaches invoking the Hamiltonian-Jacobi theory, Riccati...
