A numerical method called element removal method is designed to calculate singular minimizers which cannot be approximated by simple applications of standard numerical methods because of the so-called Lavrentiev phenomenon. The convergence of the method is proved. The results of numerical experiments show that the method is effective.

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.
