The author introduces the so-called variational forms \[ M_i(v)= {\partial F_i\over\partial x^k} v^k+ {\partial F_i\over\partial\dot x^k} \dot v^k+{\partial F_i\over\partial\ddot x^k} \ddot v^k \] to the system of the second-order differential equations \(F_i(t,x,\dot x,\ddot x)= 0\), recalls the adjoint forms \(\overline M_i(\overline v)\) defined by the Lagrange identity \(\overline v^iM_i(v)- v^i M_i(\overline v)={d\over dt} Q(v,\overline v)\), and derives the familiar selfadjointness conditions. They are adapted for the particular case when \(F_i\) are quasilinear and especially for the Euler-Lagrange equations. Some fundamental properties of the Poincaré-Cartan forms and the Noether dynamical symmetries are derived. A brief note on interrelation between the quantum commutator brackets and the selfadjointness concludes the article.
