Review text

The authors invent new metrics for higher-order relativistic optics, which are related with the Ehlers-Pirani-Schild axiomatics of general relativity. These metrics are defined on the higher-order tangent bundle of a manifold. The associated Lagrangians are studied in more detail. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0867.00024].
