Dynamical Systems 2016-01-14 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we state with a variational method a general theorem providing the existence of a weak solution uu for fractional Euler-Lagrange equations of the type: Lx(u,Dαu,t)+D+α(Ly(u,Dαu,t))=0 \dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x} (u,D^\alpha_- u,t) + D^\alpha_+ (\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y} (u,D^\alpha_- u,t)) = 0 on a real interval [a,b][a,b] and where DαD^\alpha_- and D+αD^\alpha_+ are the fractional derivatives of Riemann-Liouville of order 0<α<10 < \alpha < 1.
