Description for The Geometry of Higher-Order Lagrange Spaces. Applications to Mechanics and Physics.
Hardback. Devoted to the problem of the geometrizing of Lagrangians which depend on higher-order accelerations, this volume presents a construction of the geometry of the total space of the bundle of the accelerations of order k>=1. It is suitable for scientists whose work involves differential geometry and mechanics of particles and systems. Series: Fundamental Theories of Physics. Num Pages: 351 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP; PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 297 x 210 x 20. Weight in Grams: 675.
This monograph is mostly devoted to the problem of the geome- trizing of Lagrangians which depend on higher order accelerations. It naturally prolongs the theme of the monograph "The Geometry of La- grange spaces: Theory and Applications", written together with M. Anastasiei and published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in 1994. The existence of Lagrangians of order k > 1 has been contemplated by mechanicists and physicists for a long time. Einstein had grasped their presence in connection with the Brownian motion. They are also present in relativistic theories based on metrics which depend on speeds and accelerations of particles or ... Read more
