Problem of the calculus of variations with Bolza functionals
is considered. Constraints are of both types: equalities and
inequalities. The Lagrange multipler rule type theorem, which gives
necessary conditions for weak optimality, is proved. When applied to
the simplest problem of the calculus of variations , this theorem gives
that every smooth minimizing function must satisfy the well known Euler
equation and also the differential equation
$
(d/dt) (L_{\dot x}\dot x-L)=-L_t.
$
It should be emphasized that both differential equations are obtained
under the only condition that integrand $L$ is continuously differentiable.
