    0 references
    The paper is a survey of an elaborate study on Berwald-type connections [\textit{T. Mestdag} and \textit{W. Sarlet}, Houston J. Math. 27, 763--797 (2001; Zbl 1003.58005)]. It explains the general framework for understanding the subtle differences between several related SODE-connections (connections associated to systems of second-order equations) and for describing accurately the significance of the ``Berwald-type'' notion in a time-dependent context.NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0966.00031].
