We show that, typically, lower semicontinuous functions on a Banach space densely inherit lower subderivatives of the same degree of smoothness as the norm. In particular every continuous convex function on a space with a Gâteaux (weak Hadamard, Fréchet) smooth renorm is densely Gâteaux (weak Hadamard, Fréchet) differentiable. Our technique relies on a more powerful analogue of Ekeland's variat...

This paper presents the formulation of time-fractional Klein-Gordon equation using the Euler-Lagrange variational technique in the Riesz derivative sense and derives an approximate solitary wave solution. Our results witness that He’s variational iteration method was very efficient and powerful technique in finding the solution of the proposed equation. The basic idea described in this paper is...

The purpose of this paper is to solve fractional calculus of variational Herglotz problem depending on an Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative. Since the new Atangana-Baleanu fractional derivative is non-singular and non-local, the Euler-Lagrange equations are proposed for the problems of Herglotz. Fractional variational Herglotz problems of variable order are considered and two cases are sho...

In this article, we propose a new approximate procedure based on He’s variational iteration method for solving nonlinear hyperbolic equations. We introduce two transformations q = ut and σ = ux and formulate a first-order system of equations. We can obtain the approximation solution for the scalar unknown u, time derivative q = ut and space derivative σ = ux, simultaneously. Finally, some examp...

We show how the homogeneous variational bicomplex provides a useful formalism for describing a number of properties of single-integral variational problems, and we introduce a subsequence of one of the rows of the bicomplex which is locally exact with respect to the variational derivative. We are therefore able to recover a Lagrangian from a set of equations given as a variationally-closed diff...

Abstract. The study of fractional variational problems in terms of a combined fractional Caputo derivative is introduced. Necessary optimality conditions of Euler–Lagrange type for the basic, isoperimetric, and Lagrange variational problems are proved, as well as transversality and sufficient optimality conditions. This allows to obtain necessary and sufficient Pareto optimality conditions for ...

In this paper, we apply the local fractional Laplace transform method (or Yang-Laplace transform) on Volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind within the local fractional integral operators to obtain the analytical approximate solutions. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative operators. This approach provides us with a convenient way to find a solution ...

We work in the set theory without the axiom of choice: ZF. Though the Hahn-Banach theorem cannot be proved in ZF, we prove that every Gâteauxdifferentiable uniformly convex Banach space E satisfies the following continuous Hahn-Banach property: if p is a continuous sublinear functional on E, if F is a subspace of E, and if f : F → R is a linear functional such that f ≤ p|F , then there exists a...
