The geometrical structure known as the Tulczyjew triple has proved to be very useful in describing mechanical systems, even those with singular Lagrangians or subject to constraints. Starting from basic concepts of variational calculus, we…

Hamilton equations based not only upon the Poincare--Cartan equivalent of a first-order Lagrangian, but rather upon its Lepagean equivalent are investigated. Lagrangians which are singular within the Hamilton--De Donder theory, but…
A higher order theory of gravitation is considered which is obtained by modifying Einstein field equations. The Lagrange used to modify this in the form a polynomial in (scalar curvature) R. In this equation we have studied spherical…
In this paper we develop a geometric approach to higher order mechanics on graded bundles in both, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, via the recently discovered weighted algebroids. We present the corresponding Tulczyjew triple for…
In the scientific literature there are basically two schools of formulating Lagrangian (or Hamiltonian) mechanics in the (Lie) algebroid setting: in terms of prolongations and in terms of Tulczyjew triples. Despite the fact that in both…
The static of smooth maps from the two-dimensional disc to a smooth manifold can be regarded as a simplified version of the Classical Field Theory. In this paper we construct the Tulczyjew triple for the problem and describe the Lagrangian…
New symmetry transformations for the n-dimensional Toda lattice are presented. Their existence allows for the construction of several first order Lagrangian structures associated to them. The multi-Hamiltonian structures are derived from…
