Differential invariants of a class of Lagrangian systems with two degrees of freedom

We consider systems of Euler-Lagrange equations with two degrees of freedom and
with Lagrangian being quadratic in velocities. For this class of equations the generic case of the equivalence problem is solved with respect to point transformations. Using Lie's infinitesimal method we construct a basis of differential invariants and invariant differentiation operators for such systems. We describe certain types of Lagrangian systems in terms of their invariants. The results are illustrated by several examples.
