Summary:
In this work, we consider variational problems defined by $G$-invariant Lagrangians on the $r$-jet prolongation of a principal bundle $P$, where $G$ is the structure group of $P$. These problems can be also considered as defined on the associated bundle of the $r$-th order connections. The correspondence between the Euler-Lagrange equations for these variational problems and conservation laws is discussed.
