Abstract
The higher order bundles defined by an anchored bundle are constructed as a natural extension of the higher tangent spaces of a manifold. We prove that a hyperregular lagrangian (hyperregular affine hamiltonian) is a linearizable sub-lagrangian (affine sub-hamiltonian) on a suitable Legendre triple.
