Abstract

The theory of geodesic fields of VAGNER [12] and LIESEN [10] evidently yields the best results in comparison with the field theories of the LEPAGEan bundle. We try to elucidate the theory form a FINSLER-geometric point of view and to make it better applicable. A regularity condition analogous to the HADAMARD sufficient Legendre-condition is deduced, which is less restrictive than the conditions of the original CARATHEODORY and de DONDER-WEYL field theories. Local geodesic fields are constructed. We give a sufficient Legendre-and Weierstraß-condition and finally discuss the scope of field theory.
