摘要
We study the Schwarzian derivative from a variational viewpoint. In particular, we show that the Schwarzian derivative defines a first integral of the Euler-Lagrange equation of a second order Lagrangian. Moreover, we prove that the Schwarzian derivative itself can be considered as the Euler-Lagrange operator for an appropriately chosen class of variations. (C) 2022 The Author(s).
