| Summary: | Structure of Solutions of Variational Problems is devoted to recent progress made in the studies of the structure of approximate solutions of variational problems considered on subintervals of a real line. �Results on properties of approximate solutions which are independent of the length of the interval, for all sufficiently large intervals are presented in a clear manner. Solutions, new approaches, techniques and methods to a number of difficult problems in the calculus of variations� are illustrated throughout this book. This book also contains significant results and information about the turnpike property of the variational problems.�This well-known property is a general phenomenon which holds for large classes of variational problems. The author examines the following in relation to the turnpike property �in individual� (non-generic) turnpike results, sufficient and necessary conditions for the turnpike phenomenon as well as in the non-intersection property for extremals of variational problems. This book appeals to mathematicians �working in optimal control and the calculus as� well as with graduate students.
