Abstract: Second-order Lagrangian densities admitting a first-order Hamiltonian formalism are studied; namely, i) for each second-order Lagrangian density on an arbitrary fibred manifold $pcolonEoN$ the Poincar'e-Cartan form of which is projectable onto $J^{1}E$, by using a new notion of regularity previously introduced, a first-order Hamiltonian formalism is developed for such a class of variational problems; ii) the existence of first-order equivalent Lagrangians are discussed from a local point of view as well as global; iii) this formalism is then applied to classical Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian and a generalization of the BF theory. The results suggest that the class of problems studied is a natural variational setting for GR.
