Variational problems involving a Caputo-type fractional derivative

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study certain problems of calculus of variations, that are dependent upon a Lagrange function on a Caputo-type fractional derivative. This type of fractional operator is a generalization of the Caputo and the Caputo--Hadamard fractional derivatives, that are dependent on a real parameter ro. Sufficient and necessary conditions of the first and second order are presented. The cases of integral and holonomic constraints are also considered.


The paper is devoted to several problems of calculus of variations that are dependent upon a Lagrange function on a Caputo-type fractional derivative. This type of operators is a generalization of the Caputo and Caputo-Hadamard fractional derivatives. The author obtains a necessary condition that every optimal solution must verify, as well as transversality conditions for the case of free boundary problems. In addition, the author studies the Legendre problem, the Herglotz problem, and problems with additional restrictions like the isoperimetric and holonomic constraints.
