Abstract

In this paper, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of variational principles for a given first-order differential-difference operator equation with a special form of the linear operator Pλ(t) depending on t and the nonlinear operator Q. Under the corresponding conditions the functional is constructed. These conditions are obtained thanks to the well-known criterion of potentiality. Examples show how the inverse problem of the calculus of variations is constructed for given differentialdifference operators.
