dc.descriptionWe discuss intrinsic aspects of Krupka's approach to finite-order variational sequences. We give intrinsic isomorphisms of the quotient subsheaves of the short finite-order variational sequence with sheaves of forms on jet spaces of suitable order, obtaining a new finite-order (short exact) variational sequence which is made by sheaves of polynomial differential operators. Moreover, we present an intrinsic formulation for the Helmholtz condition of local variationality using a technique introduced by Kolar that we have adapted to our context. Finally, we provide the minimal order solution to the inverse problem of the calculus of variations and a solution of the problem of the variationally trivial Lagrangian.
