Popis: In this paper we discuss a general framework based on symplectic geometry for the study of second order conditions in constrained variational problems on curves. Using the notion of L -derivatives we construct Jacobi curves, which represent a generalisation of Jacobi fields from the classical calculus of variations, but which also works for non-smooth extremals. This construction includes in particular the previously known constructions for specific types of extremals. We state and prove Morse-type theorems that connect the negative inertia index of the Hessian of the problem to some symplectic invariants of Jacobi curves.
