Abstract
We assume a vector bundle \(E\rightarrow M\) and the principal bundle PE of frames of \(E\). Let \(K\) be a general linear connection on \(E\) and \(\varLambda \) be a linear connection on \(M\). We classify all connections on \({\widetilde{W}}^2PE\) naturally given by \(K\) and \(\varLambda \).
