%0 Journal Article %T Bundle-theoretic methods for higher-order variational calculus %A Micha£¿ J¨®£¿wikowski %A Miko£¿aj Rotkiewicz %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %R 10.3934/jgm.2014.6.99 %X We present a geometric interpretation of the integration-by-parts formula on an arbitrary vector bundle. As an application we give a new geometric formulation of higher-order variational calculus. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.3097v3
