Finsler geometry is the geometrically most interesting case of Lagrange geometry. In this paper, we study a generalization which consists of replacing the tangent bundle by a general tangent manifold, and the Lagrangian by a family of compatible, local, Lagrangian functions. We give several examples and find the cohomological obstructions to globalization. Then, we extend the connections used in Finsler and Lagrange geometry, while giving an index-free presentation of these connections.","PeriodicalId":39893,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS AND MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2003-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1155/S0161171203303059","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"64990084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
