Regularity of minimizers for higher order variational problems in one independent variable

This paper concerns problems in the calculus of variations in one independent variable, when the Lagrangian depends on derivates of the state trajectories up to order N. For first order problems (N = 1) it is well known that, under standard hypotheses of existence theory and a local boundedness cond...
