Original Abstract

Fundamental concepts for variational integrals evaluated on the solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations are revised. The variations, stationarity, extremals and especially the Poincare-Cartan differential forms are relieved of all additional structures and subject to the equivalences and symmetries in the widest possible sense. Theory of the classical Lagrange variational problem eventually appears in full generality. It is presented from the differential forms point of view and does not require any intricate geometry.
