In a previous paper in these Proceedings the author discussed conditions for a maximum or minimum of functions of integrals of the type

using the methods of the Calculus of Variations. In the effort to establish a third necessary condition for a minimum—the analogue of Jacobi's condition in the ordinary variational problem—it was found that the analogue of Jacobi's Equation was an integrodifferential equation of the form
