In this paper, first a class of fractional differential equations are obtained by using the fractional variational principles. We find a fractional Lagrangian $L(x(t)$, where $_a^cD_t^\alpha x(t))$ and $0<\alpha< 1$, such that the following…
One of the motivations for using fractional calculus in physical systems is due to fact that many times, in the space and time variables we are dealing which exhibit coarse-grained phenomena, meaning that infinitesimal quantities cannot be…
We introduce a new optimal control problem where the controlled dynamical system depends on multi-order (incommensurate) fractional differential equations. The cost functional to be maximized is of Bolza type and depends on incommensurate…
The L-fractional derivative is defined as a certain normalization of the well-known Caputo derivative, so alternative properties hold: smoothness and finite slope at the origin for the solution, velocity units for the vector field, and a…
