In this paper we generalize our notion of preconnection to higher orders, which enables us to develop a non-repetitive but still synthetic approach to jet bundles. Both our repetitive and non-repetitive approaches are coordinate-free and applicable to microlinear spaces in general. In our non-repetitive approach we can establish a theorem claiming that the $(n+1)$-th jet space is an affine bundle over the $n$-th jet space, while we have not been able to do so in our previous repetitive approach. We will show how to translate repeated 1-jets into higher-order preconnections. Finally we will demonstrate that our repetitive and non-repetitive approaches to jet bundles tally, as far as formal manifolds are concerned.}, pages = {677--696}, title = {Higher-Order Preconnections in Synthetic Differential Geometry of Jet Bundles}, volume = {45}, year = {2004} }
