On special types of nonholonomic contact elements

Our starting point has been a recent clarification of the role of semiholonomic contact elements in the theory of submanifolds of Cartan geometries, Kolá? and Vitolo (2010) [5]. We deduce some further properties of the iterated contact elements by using the general concept of contact (n,F)-element for a regular subcategory F of the category of nonholonomic r-jets. Special attention is paid to the incidence relation of contact F-elements of different dimensions.
