Abstract
A Hamiltonian formalism is developed from a regular Lagrangian Lr depending on an arbitrary number of derivatives. The formalism leads to a set of Hamilton equations whose solutions are the same as those of the Euler-Lagrange equations derived from Lr. The Noether currents associated with a symmetry transformation of the Hamiltonian action are also derived.Keywords
