Fractional Calculus of Variations: a novel way to look at it

Abstract

In this work we look at the original fractional calculus of variations problem in a somewhat different way. As a simple consequence, we show that a fractional generalization of a classical problem has a solution without any restrictions on the derivative-order $\alpha$.
