Necessary optimality conditions for fractional difference problems of the calculus of variations
We introduce a discrete-time fractional calculus of variations. 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 the solutions of the fractional problems coincide with the solutions of the corresponding non-fractional ...

Minimization Problems for Functionals Depending on Generalized Proportional Fractional Derivatives
In this work we study variational problems, where ordinary derivatives are replaced by a generalized proportional fractional derivative. This fractional operator depends on a fixed parameter, acting as a weight over the state function and its first-order

Optimal State Control of Fractional Order Differential Systems: The Infinite State Approach
Optimal control of fractional order systems is a long established domain of fractional calculus. Nevertheless, it relies on equations expressed in terms of pseudo-state variables which raise fundamental questions.

Fractional calculus of variations of several independent variables [PDF]
We prove multidimensional integration by parts formulas for generalized fractional derivatives and integrals. The new results allow us to obtain optimality conditions for multidimensional fractional variational problems with Lagrangians depending on generalized partial integrals and derivatives. A generalized fractional Noether's theorem, a formulation
