Abstract

It is shown that the functional [formula omitted] fails to possess a variational derivative, contrary to what is claimed by Gelfand and Fomin. A modified definition is given with respect to which the functional does possess a variational derivative. © 1980, Australian Mathematical Society. All rights reserved.
