Linear connections for systems of second-order ordinary differential equations
Some concepts of regularity for parametric multiple-integral problems in the calculus of variations
We show that asserting the regularity (in the sense of Rund) of a first-order parametric multiple-integral variational problem is equivalent to asserting that the differential of the projection of its Hilbert-Carathéodory form is multisymplectic, and is also equivalent to asserting that Dedecker extremals of the latter -form are holonomic.
