The aim of this paper is to characterize the local minimizers among the generalized cubic polynomials for a functional expressed by the covariant acceleration on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Inspired by the theory of geodesics, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions are obtained in terms of generalized notions of Jacobi fields and conjugate points.
