The symmetry reduction of variational integrals, complement

Veronika Chrastinová, Václav Tryhuk

Received October 4, 2017.   Published online April 17, 2018.

Abstract:  Some open problems appearing in the primary article on the symmetry reduction are solved. A new and quite simple coordinate-free definition of Poincaré-Cartan forms and the substance of divergence symmetries (quasisymmetries) are clarified. The unbeliavable uniqueness and therefore the global existence of Poincaré-Cartan forms without any uncertain multipliers for the Lagrange variational problems are worth extra mentioning.
Keywords:  Lagrange variational problem; Poincaré-Cartan form; symmetry reduction
