Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians appear naturally in the intrinsic study of geometric structures on manifolds. By a smooth geometric structure on a manifold we mean any submanifold of its tangent bundle, transversal to the fibers. One can consider the time-optimal problem naturally associate with a geometric structure.…

Dirac structures on tangent bundles provide a unified framework for Lagrange--Dirac dynamical systems.

Lagrange geometry is the geometry of the tensor field defined by the fiberwise Hessian of a non degenerate Lagrangian function on the total space of a tangent bundle.

This article is concerned with the question: For which pairs of hyperbolic Euler-Lagrange systems in the plane does there exist a rank-$1$ Bäcklund transformation relating them? We express some obstructions to such existence in terms of the local invariants of the Euler-Lagrange systems. In addition, we discover a clas…

Using the reviewed Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative we introduce the fractional osculator Lagrange space of k order and the main structures on it. The results are applied at the k order fractional prolongation of Lagrange, Finsler and Riemann fractional structures.

If a Lagrangian defining a variational problem has order $k$ then its Euler-Lagrange equations generically have order $2k$. This paper considers the case where the Euler-Lagrange equations have order strictly less than $2k$, and shows that in such a case the Lagrangian must be a polynomial in the highest-order derivati…
