| Given a Riemannian manifold (M,g) and a potential V, the Bolza problem searchs for the existence and multiplicity of trajectories connecting any two prescribed points. Our purpose is to make a short review on this topic with prospective results, including its extension to Lorentzian and Finslerian geometries.
