Its main objective is an extension of the classical variational calculus on Euclidean spaces to (topologically nontrivial) finite-dimensional smooth manifolds; to this purpose the methods of global analysis of differential forms are used. Emphasis is placed on the foundations of the theory of variational functionals on fibered manifolds - relevant geometric structures for variational principles in geometry, physical field theory and higher-order fibered mechanics. The book chapters include: - foundations of jet bundles and analysis of differential forms and vector fields on jet bundles, - the theory of higher-order integral variational functionals for sections of a fibred space, the (global) first variational formula in infinitesimal and integral forms- extremal conditions and the discussion of Noether symmetries and generalizations,- the inverse problems of the calculus of variations of Helmholtz type- variational sequence theory and its consequences for the global inverse problem (cohomology conditions)- examples of variational functionals of mathematical physics. Complete formulations and proofs of all basic assertions are given, based on theorems of global analysis explained in the Appendix. 410 0$aAtlantis Studies in Variational Geometry,$x2214-0719 ;$v1 606 $aGlobal analysis (Mathematics) 606 $aManifolds (Mathematics) 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aMathematical optimization 606 $aCalculus of variations 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aGlobal Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds 606 $aDifferential Geometry 606 $aCalculus of Variations and Optimization 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 615 0$aGlobal analysis (Mathematics) 615 0$aManifolds (Mathematics) 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 0$aMathematical optimization. 615 0$aCalculus of variations. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aGlobal Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 615 24$aCalculus of Variations and Optimization. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 676 $a516.362 700 $aKrupka$b Demeter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755735 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299761003321 996 $aIntroduction to global variational geometry$91522916 997 $aUNINA
