On geometry of higher-order Euler-Lagrange equations

We construct a geometric framework to study variational problems on higher tangent bundles. As a result we obtain a geometric construction of higher-order Euler-Lagrange equations together with the corresponding momenta.

My talk is based on a joint work with Mikołaj Rotkiewicz.
