Minimisation of integral including absolute values

101 Views Asked by At

I need to solve the following

$$\min_{c,d} \int_0^1 |ct+d-t^2| dt.$$

Since the integrand is of degree two, I considered to split the integral in three. My problem however, is that the bounds would then depend on $c$ as well as $d$. Is there any extension of the Leibnitz integral rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leibniz_integral_rule) that lets you deal with two parameters in the bound?
