On the Carathéodory Form in Higher-Order Variational Field Theory
The Carathéodory form of the calculus of variations belongs to the class of Lepage equivalents of first-order Lagrangians in field theory. Here, this equivalent is generalized for second- and higher-order Lagrangians by means of intrinsic geometric operations applied to the well-known Poincaré–Carta...
