Abstract: Abstract We consider infinite-horizon variational problems on several spaces of curves. We establish relations between these problems and the properties of their solutions. Notably, we exhibit situations where optimality in a given space of curves implies optimality in a bigger space of curves. We work with a domain of definition of the Lagrangian which has a very general form and we provide assumptions to ensure a satisfactory theory of the necessary conditions of optimality. We apply these results to actualized Lagrangians.
