4. Theodora Giannakou- Anastasia Iliadou
His tendency towards the calculus of
variations was manifested for the first time in
his doctoral thesis entitled '' Veder die
diskontinuierlichen L o sungen in der
Variationsrechnung'' (of discontinuous
solutions in calculus of variations), which is a
pilot project and the first in mathematical
literature, developing the theory of
discontinuous solutions in calculus of
variations.
