This lecture covers the direct methods for finding minimizers, focusing on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Poisson equation. It discusses weak formulations, regularity conditions, and the application of the Lax-Milgram theorem. The lecture emphasizes the importance of convexity and boundary conditions in determining the minimizer.
