Unified formalism for the generalized kth-order Hamilton-Jacobi problem

Mathematical Physics 2014-10-24 v2 math.MP

Abstract

The geometric formulation of the Hamilton-Jacobi theory enables us to generalize it to systems of higher-order ordinary differential equations. In this work we introduce the unified Lagrangian-Hamiltonian formalism for the geometric Hamilton-Jacobi theory on higher-order autonomous dynamical systems described by regular Lagrangian functions.
