Variational methods for the solution of fractional discrete/continuous Sturm–Liouville problems

A Survey of Direct Methods for Solving Variational Problems

This study presents a comparative survey of direct methods for solving Variational Problems. Thisproblems can be used to solve various differential equations in physics and chemistry like RateEquation for a chemical reaction. There are procedures that any type of a differential equation isconvertible to a variational problem. Therefore finding the solution of a differential equation isequivalen...

Fractional Action-like Variational Problems *

Fractional action-like variational problems have recently gained importance in studying dynamics of nonconservative systems. In this note we address multi-dimensional fractional action-like problems of the calculus of variations. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 49K10, 49S05.

Discrete-time fractional variational problems

We introduce a discrete-time fractional calculus of variations on the time scale hZ, h > 0. First and second order necessary optimality conditions are established. Examples illustrating the use of the new Euler-Lagrange and Legendre type conditions are given. They show that solutions to the considered fractional problems become the classical discrete-time solutions when the fractional order of ...
