The simplest variational problems (with free, fixed boundaries, the Bolz problem) in Banach spaces are considered. Necessary conditions for a local extremum in these problems are derived. An important class of Lagrangian mechanical systems is considered – local loaded fields, for which the Lagrangian has the form of an integral functional. Necessary conditions for the action functional – the Euler-Ostrogradsky equations and transversality conditions – are obtained. The equations of the theory of elasticity and Maxwell electrodynamics are derived from the variational principle for local fields.
