Understand

Ostrogradsky's construction of a Hamiltonian formalism for nondegenerate higher derivative Lagrangians is reviewed.

The resulting instability imposes by far the most powerful restriction on fundamental, interacting, continuum Lagrangian field theories.
A discussion is given of the problems raised by attempts to evade this restriction.
