Singular minimizers in the calculus of variations
This thesis examines the possible failure of regularity for minimizers of onedimensional variational problems. The direct method of the calculus of variations gives rigorous assurance that minimizers exist, but necessarily admits the possibility that minimizers might not be smooth. Regularity theory...
