Two theories presented for analysis of optimum burning program for horizontal flight; first is based on Green's theorem which leads to simple straightforward proof of necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of maximum; second theory, based on variational method of Lagrange multipliers, considers general case of arbitrary one-to-one correspondence between thrust and propellant mass flow.
