By one of the most fundamental principles in physics, a dynamical system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. This leads to the formation of the Euler-Lagrange equations, which serve as a model of how the system…
We present an approach to the canonical quantization of systems with equations of motion that are historically called non-Lagrangian equations. Our viewpoint of this problem is the following: despite the fact that a set of differential…
The aim of this paper is to study certain problems of calculus of variations, that are dependent upon a Lagrange function on a Caputo-type fractional derivative. This type of fractional operator is a generalization of the Caputo and the…

We establish Euler-Lagrange equations for a problem of Calculus of variations where the unknown variable contains a term of delay on a segment.
Using the asymmetric fractional calculus of variations, we derive a fractional Lagrangian variational formulation of the convection-diffusion equation in the special case of constant coefficients.
In this work we propose a new and more general approach to the calculus of variations on time scales that allows to obtain, as particular cases, both delta and nabla results. More precisely, we pose the problem of minimizing or maximizing…
Because scaling symmetries of the Euler-Lagrange equations are generally not variational symmetries of the action, they do not lead to conservation laws. Instead, an extension of Noether's theorem reduces the equations of motion to…
In this paper, we review two related aspects of field theory: the modeling of the fields by means of exterior algebra and calculus, and the derivation of the field dynamics, i.e., the Euler-Lagrange equations, by means of the stationary…
Fractional calculus has been used to describe physical systems with complexity. Here, we show that a fractional calculus approach can restore or include complexity in any physical systems that can be described by partial differential…
