This work presents optimality conditions for several fractional variational problems where the Lagrange function depends on fractional order operators, the initial and final state values, and a free parameter. The fractional derivatives considered in this paper are the Riemann–Liouville and the Caputo derivatives with respect to an arbitrary kernel. The new variational problems studied here are generalizations of several types of variational problems, and therefore, our results generalize well-known results from the fractional calculus of variations. Namely, we prove conditions useful to determine the optimal orders of the fractional derivatives and necessary optimality conditions involving time delays and arbitrary real positive fractional orders. Sufficient conditions for such problems are also studied. Illustrative examples are provided.

We formulate a necessary condition for functionals with Lagrangians depending on fractional derivatives of differentiable functions to possess an extremum. The Euler-Lagrange equation we obtained generalizes previously known results in the literature and enables us to construct simple Lagrangians for nonlinear systems. As examples of application, we obtain Lagrangians for some chaotic dynamical systems.

<p class="1Body">In this paper, we examined the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations for Holonomic constrained systems. The Euler-Lagrange equations are derived using the fractional variational problem of Lagrange. In addition, we achieved that the classical results were obtained are agreement when fractional derivatives are replaced with the integer order derivatives. Two physical examples are discussed to demonstrate the formalism.</p>

Abstract In this paper, based on the idea of the extended Ritz method, we introduce an efficient approximate technique for solving a general class of fractional variational problems. In the discussed problem, the fractional derivatives are considered in the Caputo sense. First, we introduce a family of fractional polynomial functions with a free parameter in the exponent. With the aid of the presented fractional polynomials, we construct a family of functions with free parameters, which provides the extended Ritz method with a great flexibility in searching for the approximate solution of the problem. The approximate solutions satisfy all the initial and the boundary conditions of the problem. The convergence of the method is analytically studied and some test examples are included to demonstrate the superiority of the new technique over the ordinary Ritz method.

This paper presents a comparative study of four numerical schemes for a class of Isoperimetric Constraint Fractional Variational Problems (ICFVPs) defined in terms of an A-operator introduced recently. The A-operator is defined in a more general way which in special cases reduces to Riemann-Liouville, Caputo, Riesz-Riemann-Liouville and Riesz-Caputo, and several other fractional derivatives defined in the literature. Four different schemes, namely linear, quadratic, quadratic-linear and Bernsteins polynomials approximations, are used to obtain approximate solutions of an ICFVP. All four schemes work well, and when the number of terms approximating the solution are increased, the desired solution is achieved. Results for a modified power kernel in A-operator for different fractional orders are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes. The accuracy of the numerical schemes with respect to parameters such as fractional order α and step size h are analyzed and illustrated in detail through various figures and tables. Finally, comparative performances of the schemes are discussed.
