Abstract
The notion of a differential invariant for systems of second-order differential equations σ on a manifold M with respect to the group of vertical automorphisms of the projection p: ℝ ×M → ℝ, is defined and the Chern connection ∇ σ attached to a SODE σ allows one to determine a basis for second-order differential invariants of a SODE.
