Variational Methods (Example - Shortest Path)

I last part of lecture, one see that 1-c1 in sqaure root. We generalized this to A. Would not value to c1 have any constraint on choices of values of c1or A in final u?

I was wondering the same thing. Aren’t we restricting c1 to be less than 1…?

Nevermind I see. c1 is equal to sqrt(2)/2. This is because if A = 1, then u’ = 1 and then you can solve for c1. Lol!
