Abstract

We show that the solution of Cauchy problem for the classical ODE my″= f can be obtained as the limit of minimizers of exponentially weighted convex variational integrals. This complements the known results about weighted inertia-energy approach to Lagrangian mechanics and hyperbolic equations.
