Connections on higher order principal prolongations

Vašík, Petr

Similarity:

Geometric constructions of connections on the higher order principal prolongations of a principal bundle are considered. Moreover, the existing differences among connections on non-holonomic, semiholonomic and holonomic principal prolongations are discussed.

Linearisation of second-order differential equations.

Eduardo Martínez (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a second order differential equation on a manifold we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a coordinate system in which the system is linear. The main tool to be used is a linear connection defined by the system of differential equations.
