AV-differential geometry and calculus of variations

arXiv:math-ph/0612069

Abstract

The calculus of variations for lagrangians which are not functions on the tangent bundle, but sections certain affine bundles is developed. We follow a general approach to variational principles which admits boundary terms of variations.
