Fractional Herglotz Variational Principles with Generalized Caputo Derivatives
arXiv:1704.05697 · doi:10.1016/j.chaos.2017.04.035
Abstract
We obtain Euler-Lagrange equations, transversality conditions and a Noether-like theorem for Herglotz-type variational problems with Lagrangians depending on generalized fractional derivatives. As an application, we consider a damped harmonic oscillator with time-depending mass and elasticity, and arbitrary memory effects.
