Is the path of stationary action unique? What are the physical implications of $L_{\dot{x}}=...
The Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained by employing the principle of least action. … This means that if we make a slight change to the path of the particle (call it $\delta x$(t)), the action should not change (to first order in $\delta x$). …

and then integrate over a Euclidean region when evaluating the action functional. … How does the action integral become a contour integral and why is it independent of the region? …
