In this paper we study, from a variational and geometrical point of view, second-order variational problems on Lie groupoids and the construction of variational integrators for optimal control problems. First, we develop variational techniques for second-order variational problems on Lie groupoids and their applications to the construction of variational integrators for optimal control problems of mechanical systems. Next, we show how Lagrangian submanifolds of a symplectic groupoid gives intrinsically the discrete dynamics for second-order systems, both unconstrained and constrained, and we study the geometric properties of the implicit flow which defines the dynamics in a Lagrangian submanifold. We also study the theory of reduction by symmetries and the corresponding Noether theorem.

Keywords: Lie algebroids, geometric integration., higher-order variational problems, optimal control, Discrete Lagrangian mechanics, Lagrangian submanifolds, Lie groupoids.
