Given [[boundary]] conditions, which is basically a specification of the value of &phi; at the [[boundary]] of M is [[compact]] or some limit on &phi; as x approaches <math>\infty</math> (this will help in doing [[integration by parts]]), we can denote as N the [[subset]] of <math>\mathcal{C}</math> consisting of functions, &phi; such that all [[functional derivative]]s of S at &phi; are zero and &phi; satisfies the given boundary conditions.
 
Now, suppose we have an [[infinitesimal]] [[Transformation (mathematics)|transformation]] on <math>\mathcal{C}</math>, given by a [[functional derivative]], &delta; such that
