Is an Euler-Lagrange Operator ever used?

If we take the Euler-Lagrange equation and treat it as a linear operator acting on a Lagrangian,

(∂/∂q - d/dt ∂/∂q*)L = 0

then it appears that the Lagrangian for a system is in the null space for that operator. Is this point of view used anywhere that you know of? Is there meaning in finding the eigenfunctions/eigenvalues of this operator?
