We extend the notion of variational integrator for classical Euler-Lagrange equations to the fractional ones. As in the classical case, we prove that the variational integrator allows to preserve Noether-type results at the discrete level.
The construction of fractional derivatives with the right properties for use in field theory is reputed to be a difficult task, essentially because of the absence of a unique definition and uniform properties. The conformable fractional…
