For a vector bundle functor $H:ℳf\to 𝒱ℬ$ with the point property we prove that $H$ is product preserving if and only if for any $m$ and $n$ there is an $ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}$-natural operator $D$ transforming connections $\Gamma$ on $(m,n)$-dimensional fibered manifolds $p:Y\to M$ into connections $D\left(\Gamma \right)$ on $Hp:HY\to HM$. For a bundle functor $E:ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}\to ℱℳ$ with some weak conditions we prove non-existence of $ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}$-natural operators $D$ transforming connections $\Gamma$ on $(m,n)$-dimensional fibered manifolds $Y\to M$ into connections $D\left(\Gamma \right)$ on $EY\to M$.

Let $G$ be a bundle functor of order $(r,s,q)$, $s\ge r\le q$, on the category $ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}$ of $(m,n)$-dimensional fibered manifolds and local fibered diffeomorphisms. Given a general connection $\Gamma$ on an $ℱ{ℳ}_{m,n}$-object $Y\to M$ we construct a general connection $𝒢(\Gamma ,\lambda ,\Lambda )$ on $GY\to Y$ be means of an auxiliary $q$-th order linear connection $\lambda$ on $M$ and an $s$-th order linear connection $\Lambda$ on $Y$. Then we construct a general connection $𝒢(\Gamma ,{\nabla }_1,{\nabla }_2)$ on $GY\to Y$ by means of auxiliary classical linear connections ${\nabla }_1$ on $M$ and ${\nabla }_2$ on $Y$. In the case $G=J^1$ we determine all general connections...

Let $r,s,q,m,n\in \mathbb{N}$ be such that $s\ge r\le q$. Let $Y$ be a fibered manifold with $m$-dimensional basis and $n$-dimensional fibers. All natural affinors on ${\left(J^{r,s,q}{(Y,{ℝ}^{1,1})}_0\right)}^{*}$ are classified. It is deduced that there is no natural generalized connection on ${\left(J^{r,s,q}{(Y,{ℝ}^{1,1})}_0\right)}^{*}$. Similar problems with ${\left(J^{r,s}{(Y,ℝ)}_0\right)}^{*}$ instead of ${\left(J^{r,s,q}{(Y,{ℝ}^{1,1})}_0\right)}^{*}$ are solved.
