Abstract

We prove necessary optimality conditions for fuzzy variational problems by using the generalized Hukuhara differentiability concept. The fuzzy basic problem of the calculus of variations with free boundary conditions is considered, as well as problem with holonomic constraints. Examples are considered to demonstrate the applications of the new Euler–Lagrange equations.
