AbstractWe prove a necessary optimality condition of Euler-Lagrange type for fractional variational problems with derivatives of incommensurate variable order. This allows us to state a version of Noether’s theorem without transformation of the independent (time) variable. Considered derivatives of variable order are defined in the sense of Caputo.

AbstractWe generalize the fractional Caputo derivative to the fractional derivative C D γα,β, which is a convex combination of the left Caputo fractional derivative of order α and the right Caputo fractional derivative of order β. The fractional variational problems under our consideration are formulated in terms of C D γα,β. The Euler-Lagrange equations for the basic and isoperimetric problems, as well as transversality conditions, are proved.

In this paper, the fractional variational integrators for fractional variational problems depending on indefinite integrals in terms of the Caputo derivative are developed. The corresponding fractional discrete Euler–Lagrange equations are derived. Some fractional variational integrators are presented based on the Grünwald–Letnikov formula. The fractional variational errors are discussed. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate these results.
