Isoperimetric problems consist in minimizing or maximizing a cost functional subject to an integral constraint. In this work, we present two fractional isoperimetric problems where the Lagrangian depends on a combined Caputo derivative of…

The set of closed (or holonomic) measures provides a useful setting for studying optimization problems because it contains all curves, while also enjoying good compactness and convexity properties. We study the way to do variational…
Simple semitoric systems were classified about ten years ago in terms of a collection of invariants, essentially given by a convex polygon with some marked points corresponding to focus-focus singularities. Each marked point is endowed with…
