Abstract

In a recent paper Nutku (1983) constructed a new variational principle for long surface waves in shallow water. The author legitimises Nutku's art of constructing Lagrangians. The author removes the mystery behind his expressions by applying the method of the inverse problem of the calculus of variations.
