abstract = "It is known that Fourier’s heat equation, which is parabolic, implies an infinite
velocity propagation, or, in other words, that the mechanism of heat
conduction is established instantaneously under all conditions. This is unacceptable
on physical grounds in spite of the fact that Fourier’s law agrees well
with experiment. However, discrepancies are likely to occur when extremely
short distances or extremely short time intervals are considered, as they must
in some modern problems of aero-thermodynamics. Cattaneo and independently
Vernotte proved that such process can be described by Heaviside’s telegraph
equation. This paper shows that this fact can be derived using calculus of
variations, by application of the Euler-Lagrange equation. So, we proved that
the equation of heat conduction with finite velocity propagation of the thermal
disturbance can be obtained as a solution to one variational problem",
