Formulation for calculus of variation with state-space constraint

$begingroup$


I'm stuck on this question, let $B = {xin mathbb{R}^n:|x|leq 1}$ be the unit ball in $mathbb{R}^n$, consider the following minimizing problem
$$ inf_{x(cdot) in mathcal{A}} int_0^infty e^{-s} Big(|x'(s)|^2 - V(x(s))Big);ds$$
where $V:mathbb{R}^nlongrightarrow mathbb{R}$ us of class $C^1$ and is bounded $|V(x)| leq C$, subjected to a somewhat unsual constraint
$$ mathcal{A} = Big{x(cdot):[0,infty)longrightarrow B: x'(cdot)in L^1_{mathrm{loc}}([0,infty)), x(0) = x_0in B Big}.$$



How can I find the correct Euler-Lagrange equation for this problem? The problems appear when I need to find a good test function space $gamma(cdot)$ such that $eta+gamma in mathcal{A}$ for all $eta$ and $gamma$, which is not clear how to make $eta(s)+gamma(s) in B$ for all $s$, and also the boundary for the Euler-Lagrange equation is unclear.

    Wouldn't $x'(s)=0$ minimize the problem, so $x(s)=x_0$?
