Abstract: This paper concerns the development and application of the multisymplectic Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism for nonlinear partial differential equations. In this theory, solutions of a PDE are sections of a fiber bundle $Y$ over a base manifold $X$ of dimension $n$$+$1, typically taken to be spacetime. Given a connection on $Y$, a covariant Hamiltonian density $mathcalH$ is then intrinsically defined on the primary constraint manifold $P_{mathcalL}$, the image of the multisymplectic version of the Legendre transformation. One views $P_{mathcalL}$ as a subbundle of $J^1(Y{)}^{s}tar$, the affine dual of $J^1(Y)$, the first jet bundle of $Y$. A canonical multisymplectic ($n$$+$2)-form $Omeg{a}_{mathcalH}$ is then defined, from which we obtain a multisymplectic Hamiltonian system of differential equations that is equivalent to both the original PDE as well as the Euler-Lagrange equations of the corresponding Lagrangian. We show that the $n$$+$1 2-forms $omeg{a}^{(mu)}$ defined by Bridges [1997] are a particular coordinate representation for a single multisymplectic ($n$$+$2)-form, and in the presence of symmetries, can be assembled into $Omeg{a}_{mathcalH}$. A generalized Hamiltonian Noether theory is then constructed which recovers the vanishing of the divergence of the vector of $n$$+$1 distinct momentum mappings defined in Bridges [1997] and, when applied to water waves, recovers Whitham's conservation of wave action. We also show the utility of this theory in the study of periodic pattern formation and wave instability.
