Question
Consider the functional
(a)
S[11, 12] = [ dr [7y/² + 24yy⁄2 + 21y2² + 4y{ + 12y192+9y²] .

stationary paths of S[y1, y2].
(b) Express the functional S in terms of the two new dependent
variables 21, 22, where Y1 and 92 are given in terms of the new
dependent variables by
Y₁ = azı 322, Y2 = 21 + 222,
and where a is a constant.
Determine the value of a such that the functional S[21, 22] can be
written as the sum of two functionals, S₁[21] + S2[22], where S₁[21]
depends only upon 21 and S2[22] depends only on upon z2.
Calculate S₁[21] and S2[22] for this value of a.
