A New Feature of the Fractional Euler–Lagrange Equations for A Coupled Oscillator Using A Nonsingular Operator Approach

Abstract

In this new work, the free motion of a coupled oscillator is investigated. First, a fully description of the system under study is formulated by considering its classical Lagrangian, and as a result, the classical Euler–Lagrange equations of motion are constructed. After this point, we extend the classical Lagrangian in fractional sense, and thus, the fractional Euler–Lagrange equations of motion are derived. In this new formulation, we consider a recently introduced fractional operator with Mittag–Leffler non-singular kernel. We also present an efficient numerical method for solving the latter equations in a proper manner. Due to this new powerful technique, we are able to obtain remarkable physical thinks; indeed, we indicate that the complex behavior of many physical systems is realistically demonstrated via the fractional calculus modeling. Finally, we report our numerical findings to verify the theoretical analysis. © Copyright © 2019 Jajarmi, Baleanu, Sajjadi and Asad.
