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.

Abstract In this paper, Noether’s theorem and its inverse theorem are proved for the fractional variational problems based on logarithmic Lagrangian systems. The Hamilton principle of the systems is derived. And the definitions and the criterions of Noether’s symmetry and Noether’s quasi-symmetry of the systems based on logarithmic Lagrangians are given. The intrinsic relation between Noether’s symmetry and the conserved quantity is established. At last an example is given to illustrate the application of the results.

In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for variational problems with Caputo partial fractional derivative are established. Fractional Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained. The Legendre condition and Noether’s theorem are also presented.

In this paper we present advances in fractional variational problems with a Lagrangian depending on Caputofractional and classical derivatives. New formulations of the fractional Euler-Lagrange equation are shown for the basic and isoperimetric problems, one in an integral form, and the other that depends only on the Caputo derivatives. The advantage is that Caputo derivatives are more appropriate for modeling problems than the Riemann-Liouville derivatives and makes the calculations easier to solve because, in some cases, its behavior is similar to the behavior of classical derivatives. Finally, anew exact solution for a particular variational problem is obtained.

In Noether’s original presentation of her celebrated theorem of 1918, allowance was made for the dependence of the coefficient functions of the differential operator, which generated the infinitesimal transformation of the action integral upon the derivatives of the dependent variable(s), the so-called generalized, or dynamical, symmetries. A similar allowance is to be found in the variables of the boundary function, often termed a gauge function by those who have not read the original paper. This generality was lost after texts such as those of Courant and Hilbert or Lovelock and Rund confined attention to point transformations only. In recent decades, this diminution of the power of Noether’s theorem has been partly countered, in particular in the review of Sarlet and Cantrijn. In this Special Issue, we emphasize the generality of Noether’s theorem in its original form and explore the applicability of even more general coefficient functions by allowing for nonlocal terms. We also look for the application of these more general symmetries to problems in which parameters or parametric functions have a more general dependence on the independent variables.

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.

It is known that there are only two quantum planes which are covariant under the quantum deformations of GL(2) admitting a central determinant. Contrary to the q-deformed quantum plane, the h-deformed quantum plane has a structure suitable for defining time derivatives and variations as closely as in the ordinary plane. From these we derive differential calculi including the skew-derivatives of Wess–Zumino as well as variational calculi on the quantum plane. These calculi enable us to generalize the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism on the ordinary plane to the quantum plane. In particular, we construct commutation relations between noncommuting coordinates and momenta which do not depend on the initial choice of Lagrangian. We also discuss the symmetry of a Lagrangian and Noether's theorem.

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we extend the variational problem of Herglotz considering the case where the Lagrangian depends not only on the independent variable, an unknown function <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ x $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> and its derivative and an unknown functional <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ z $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>, but also on the end points conditions and a real parameter. Herglotz's problems of calculus of variations of this type cannot be solved using the standard theory. Main results of this paper are necessary optimality condition of Euler-Lagrange type, natural boundary conditions and the Dubois-Reymond condition for our non-standard variational problem of Herglotz type. We also prove a necessary optimality condition that arises as a consequence of the Lagrangian dependence of the parameter. Our results not only provide a generalization to previous results, but also give some other interesting optimality conditions as special cases. In addition, two examples are given in order to illustrate our results.</p>
