Fractional action-like variational problems have recently gained importance in studying dynamics of nonconservative systems. In this note we address multi-dimensional fractional action-like problems of the calculus of variations.
We develop a convergent variational perturbation theory for the frequency of time-periodic solutions of nonlinear dynamical systems. The power of the theory is illustrated by applying it to the Duffing oscillator.
In this paper we present a Hamiltonian formulation of multisymplectic type of an invariant variational problem on smooth submanifold of dimension $p$ in a smooth manifold of dimension $n$ with $p<n$.

We aim to solve a structured convex optimization problem, where a nonsmooth function is composed with a linear operator. When opting for full splitting schemes, usually, primal-dual type methods are employed as they are effective and also…
