Abstract
The analysis of path structures is formulated in terms of jet bundles with particular emphasis on the transformation laws and symmetry properties of geodesic path structures. The role played by geodesic path structures in the constructive axioms of Ehlers, Pirani, and Schild for GRT is discussed and it is shown that these axioms are decidable.Keywords
