Generalized classical mechanics and field theory [electronic resource] : a geometrical approach of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms involving higher order derivatives / Manuel De León and Paulo R. Rodrigues.
The aim of this book is to discuss the present situation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms involving higher order derivatives. The achievements of differential geometry in formulating a more modern and powerful treatment of these theories is described and an extensive review of the developmen...
