Chrastina, Jan On the equivalence of variational problems. I. (English) Zbl 0764.49008 J. Differ. Equations 98, No. 1, 76-90 (1992). Summary: We deal with the absolute equivalence of one-dimensional variational problems. The term “absolute” means that the underlying space is not given in advance: the transformations may be quite general and need not preserve the order of derivatives. Then the use of jets of infinite order is advisable and an appropriately modified E. Cartan’s moving frame method proves to be very effective.
