We generalize the Hahn variational calculus by studying problems of the calculus of variations with higher-order derivatives. The symmetric quantum calculus is studied, namely the $\alpha,\beta$-symmetric, the $q$-symmetric, and the Hahn…

This paper demonstrates new methods and implementations of nonlinear solvers with higher-order of convergence, which is achieved by efficiently computing higher-order derivatives. Instead of computing full derivatives, which could be…

The calculus of variations is a field of mathematical analysis born in 1687 with Newton's problem of minimal resistance, which is concerned with the maxima or minima of integral functionals. Finding the solution of such problems leads to…

We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems under nabla-differentiable curves. As a consequence, the recent results of [M.R. Caputo, A unified view of ostensibly disparate isoperimetric variational problems, Appl.…

We reconsider the variational integration of optimal control problems for mechanical systems based on a direct discretization of the Lagrange-d'Alembert principle. This approach yields discrete dynamical constraints which by construction…

We study, from an optimal control perspective, Noether currents for higher-order problems of Herglotz type with time delay. Main result provides new Noether currents for such generalized variational problems, which are particularly useful…

We exhibit an alternative method for solving inhomogeneous second--order linear ordinary dynamic equations on time scales, based on reduction of order rather than variation of parameters. Our form extends recent (and long-standing) analysis…

In this work we look at the original fractional calculus of variations problem in a somewhat different way. As a simple consequence, we show that a fractional generalization of a classical problem has a solution without any restrictions on…

We extend the second Noether theorem to variational problems on time scales. Our result provides as corollaries the classical second Noether theorem, the second Noether theorem for the $h$-calculus and the second Noether theorem for the…

We Define moments of partitions of integers, and show that they appear in higher order derivatives of certain combinations of functions.

This book intends to deepen the study of the fractional calculus, giving special emphasis to variable-order operators. It is organized in two parts, as follows. In the first part, we review the basic concepts of fractional calculus (Chapter…

It is the aim of this work to identify and illustrate the potential and weaknesses of the computer algebra system Maple in the area of the Calculus of Variations: a classical area of mathematics that studies the methods for finding maximum…

A novel semi-Lagrangian method is introduced to solve numerically the Euler equation for ideal incompressible flow in arbitrary space dimension. It exploits the time-analyticity of fluid particle trajectories and requires, in principle,…

We derive the discrete version of the classical Helmholtz condition. Precisely, we state a theorem characterizing second order finite differences equations admitting a Lagrangian formulation. Moreover, in the affirmative case, we provide…

In this paper we will discuss some new developments in the design of numerical methods for optimal control problems of Lagrangian systems on Lie groups. We will construct these geometric integrators using discrete variational calculus on…

A conformable time-scale fractional calculus of order $\alpha \in ]0,1]$ is introduced. The basic tools for fractional differentiation and fractional integration are then developed. The Hilger time-scale calculus is obtained as a particular…

We construct a continuous domain for temporal discretization of differential equations. By using this domain, and the domain of Lipschitz maps, we formulate a generalization of the Euler operator, which exhibits second-order convergence. We…

We derive the Helmholtz theorem for Hamiltonian systems defined on time scales in the context of nonshifted calculus of variations which encompass the discrete and continuous case. Precisely, we give a theorem characterizing first order…

We present an approach to the factorization method for second order difference equations on time scales. We construct Hilbert spaces of functions on the time scale and show how to construct a chain of intertwined first order…

The recent theory of fractional $h$-difference equations introduced in [N. R. O. Bastos, R. A. C. Ferreira, D. F. M. Torres: Discrete-time fractional variational problems, Signal Process. 91 (2011), no. 3, 513--524], is enriched with useful…
