The Geometry of Higher-Order Hamilton Spaces by R. Miron, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

applications have also imposed the introduction x RaduMiron ofthe notionsofhigherorder Lagrangespacesand, ofcourse, higherorder Hamilton spaces. The base manifolds ofthese spaces are bundles ofaccel­ erations ofsuperior order. The methods used in the construction ofthese geometries are the natural extensions ofthe classical methods used in the edification ofLagrange and Hamilton geometries. These methods allow us to solvean old problemofdifferentialgeometryformulated by Bianchiand Bompiani [94]morethan 100yearsago, namelytheproblemofprolongation ofaRiemannianstructure gdefinedonthebasemanifoldM, tothetangent k bundleT M, k> 1. Bymeansofthissolutionofthe previousproblem, we canconstruct, for thefirst time, goodexamplesofregularLagrangiansand Hamiltoniansofhigherorder. | The Geometry of Higher-Order Hamilton Spaces by R.
