Abstract
We consider a problem of equivalence of generic pairs on a manifold , where is a distribution of rank and is a distribution of rank one. We construct a canonical bundle with a canonical frame. We prove that two pairs are equivalent if and only if the corresponding frames are diffeomorphic. As a particular case, with integrable, we provide a new solution to the problem of contact equivalence of systems of ordinary differential equations: , where or and .
