Abstract
From a (n+1) ‐form Ω on the manifold JkM of k‐jets of local sections of the vector bundle (M,π,N) we study the conditions to obtain the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms for a theory which involves higher order derivatives. The results generalize those of Gallissot and others for k=1.Keywords
