We study dynamic minimization problems of the calculus of variations with Lagrangian functionals containing Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, classical and Caputo fractional derivatives. Under assumptions of regularity, coercivity and convexity, we prove existence of solutions. AMS Subject Classifications: 26A33, 49J05.

Abstract. We consider Hadamard fractional derivatives and integrals of variable fractional order. A new type of fractional operator, which we call the Hadamard–Marchaud fractional derivative, is also considered. The objective is to represent these operators as series of terms involving integer-order derivatives only, and then approximate the fractional operators by a finite sum. An upper bound ...

Within the last few years, many of efforts fractional calculus (FC) community have been directed towards clarifying nature and essential properties operators known as integrals derivatives [...]

In this paper, some theorems of the classical power series are generalized for the fractional power series. Some of these theorems are constructed by using Caputo fractional derivatives. Under some constraints, we proved that the Caputo fractional derivative can be expressed in terms of the ordinary derivative. New construction of the generalized Taylor’s power series is obtained. Some applicat...

We derive the fractional generalization of the Ginzburg–Landau equation from the variational Euler–Lagrange equation for fractal media. To describe fractal media we use the fractional integrals considered as approximations of integrals on fractals. Some simple solutions of the Ginzburg–Landau equation for fractal media are considered and different forms of the fractional Ginzburg–Landau equatio...

During the past three decades, the subject of fractional calculus (that is, calculus of integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order) has gained considerable popularity and importance, mainly due to its demonstrated applications in numerous diverse and widespread fields in science and engineering. For example, fractional calculus has been successfully applied to problems in system biology, phys...

The theory of functional connections, an analytical framework generalizing interpolation, was extended and applied in the context fractional-order operators (integrals derivatives). extension performed presented for univariate functions, with aim determining whole set functions satisfying some constraints expressed terms integrals derivatives non-integer order. objective these expressions to so...
