APPLICATION OF GREEN'S THEOREM TO THE EXTREMIZATION OF LINEAR INTEGRALS

Abstract

The general theory for the application of Green's Theorem relative to the transformation of line integrals into surface integrals is made. The application is concerned with both the simple type and the isoperimetric type. The theory is illustrated with purely mathematical examples and engineering applications to the optimum burning program for a short-range air-to-air missile and the optimum drag modulation program for a variable-geometry light ballistic missile reentering through an arbitrary atmosphere.
