%0 Journal Article %T A Lagrangian Description of the Higher-Order Painlev¨¦ Equations %A A. Ghose Choudhury %A Partha Guha %A Nikolai A. Kudryashov %J Physics %D 2012 %I arXiv %R 10.1134/S0965542512050089 %X We derive the Lagrangians of the higher-order Painlev\'e equations using Jacobi's last multiplier technique. Some of these higher-order differential equations display certain remarkable properties like passing the Painlev\'e test and satisfy the conditions stated by Jur\'a$\check{s}$, (Acta Appl. Math. 66 (2001) 25--39), thus allowing for a Lagrangian description. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1201.3703v1
