In the first part of the paper, we prove a fractional fundamental (du Bois-Reymond) lemma and a fractional variant of the integration by parts formula. The proof of the second result is based on an integral representation of functions…
Noether's theorem and the invariances of the Willmore functional are used to derive conservation laws that are satisfied by the critical points of the Willmore energy subject to generic constraints. We recover in particular previous results…
In order to solve fractional variational problems, there exist two theorems of necessary conditions: an Euler-Lagrange equation which involves Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, and other Euler-Lagrange equation that…
In this second part of the paper, we consider finite difference Lagrangians which are invariant under linear and projective actions of $SL(2)$, and the linear equi-affine action which preserves area in the plane. We first find the…
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 study dynamic minimization problems of the calculus of variations with Lagrangian functionals containing Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, classical and Caputo fractional derivatives. Under assumptions of regularity, coercivity and…
We show that for any variational symmetry of the problem of the calculus of variations on time scales there exists a conserved quantity along the respective Euler-Lagrange extremals.
We prove, using a fixed point theorem in a Banach algebra, an existence result for a fractional functional differential equation in the Riemann-Liouville sense. Dependence of solutions with respect to initial data and an uniqueness result…
We develop the calculus of variations on time scales for a functional that is the composition of a certain scalar function with the delta and nabla integrals of a vector valued field. Euler-Lagrange equations, transversality conditions, and…
We reexamine the problem of having nonconservative equations of motion arise from the use of a variational principle. In particular, a formalism is developed that allows the inclusion of fractional derivatives. This is done within the…
The invariance theorems obtained in analytical mechanics and derived from Noether's theorems can be adapted to fluid mechanics. For this purpose, it is useful to give a functional representation of the fluid motion and to interpret the…
In the realm of complexity, it is argued that adequate modeling of TeV-physics demands an approach based on fractal operators and fractional calculus (FC). Non-local theories and memory effects are connected to complexity and the FC. The…
