Description

The aim of this book is to build up a large panel of 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 are developed. An extensive review of the development of these theories in classical language is also given. (Auth.)
