The Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives are generalized for cases when fractional exponent $d$ are functions of space and times coordinates (i.e. $d=d({\bf r}(t),t)$).
We have recently presented an extension of the standard variational calculus to include the presence of deformed derivatives in the Lagrangian of a system of particles and in the Lagrangian density of field-theoretic models. Classical…
The current research of fractional Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems focuses on the qualitative theory and numerical methods, and much progress has been recently achieved in both directions. The objective of this paper is to explore a…

Unlike many deterministic PDEs, stochastic equations are not amenable to the classical variational theory of Euler-Lagrange. In this paper, we show how self-dual variational calculus leads to solutions of various stochastic partial…
We develop a non-anticipating calculus of variations for functionals on a space of laws of continuous semi-martingales, which extends the classical one. We extend Hamilton's least action principle and Noether's theorem to this generalized…
