On the higher order Poincaré-Cartan forms. (English) Zbl 0545.58004
The authors develop some new aspects of the higher order Hamilton formalism in an arbitrary fibred manifold. Using a generalization of the formal exterior differentiation they obtain some generalizations of the results of Goldschmidt and Sternberg.
