Euler–Lagrange for a double integral: one divergence term per variable

Consider the functional I(u(x,y))=∬GF(x,y,u,ux,uy) dx dyI(u(x,y))=\iint_GF(x,y,u,u_x,u_y)\,dx\,dy over the region of integration G, where uu is continuous and has continuous derivatives upto second order. Further uu takes prescribed values on the boundary of G. Then the differential equation for the extremization of the functional is:
