The aim of the present book is to give a systematic treatment of
the inverse problem of the calculus of variations, i.e. how to
recognize whether a system of differential equations can be treated
as a system for extremals of a variational functional (the
Euler-Lagrange equations), using contemporary geometric methods.
Selected applications in geometry, physics, optimal control, and
general relativity are also considered. The book includes the
following chapters: - Helmholtz conditions and the method of
controlled Lagrangians (Bloch, Krupka, Zenkov) - The
Sonin-Douglas's problem (Krupka) - Inverse variational problem and
symmetry in action: The Ostrogradskyj relativistic third order
dynamics (Matsyuk.) - Source forms and their variational completion
(Voicu) - First-order variational sequences and the inverse problem
of the calculus of variations (Urban, Volna) - The inverse problem
of the calculus of variations on Grassmann fibrations (Urban).
