In the present work, by taking advantage of a so-called practical limitation of fractional derivatives, namely, the absence of a simple chain and Leibniz's rules, we proposed a generalized fractional calculus of variation where the…
Most physical systems are modelled by an ordinary or a partial differential equation, like the n-body problem in celestial mechanics. In some cases, for example when studying the long term behaviour of the solar system or for complex…
We define an operator which extends classical differentiation from smooth deterministic functions to certain stochastic processes. Based on this operator, we define a procedure which associates a stochastic analog to standard differential…

The stochastic embedding procedure associates a stochastic Euler-Lagrange equation (SEL) to the standard Euler-Lagrange equation (EL). Can we derive (SEL) from a generalized least action principle? To address this question, we develop a…
We introduce the differential, integral, and variational delta-embeddings. We prove that the integral delta-embedding of the Euler-Lagrange equations and the variational delta-embedding coincide on an arbitrary time scale. In particular, a…
The least action principle, through its variational formulation, possesses a finalist aspect. It explicitly appears in the fractional calculus framework, where Euler-Lagrange equations obtained so far violate the causality principle. In…

A fractional variational principle was derived in order to be used with lagrangians containing fractional derivatives of order 1/2. By forcing the action associated to this type of lagrangian to be stationary, a modified fractional…
We generalize the fractional variational problem by allowing the possibility that the lower bound in the fractional derivative does not coincide with the lower bound of the integral that is minimized. Also, for the standard case when these…
Integration by parts plays a crucial role in mathematical analysis, e.g., during the proof of necessary optimality conditions in the calculus of variations and optimal control. Motivated by this fact, we construct a new, right-weighted…
Fractional (or non-integer) differentiation is an important concept both from theoretical and applicational points of view. The study of problems of the calculus of variations with fractional derivatives is a rather recent subject, the main…
