About Fractional Quantization and Fractional Variational Principles

Abstract

in this paper, a new method of finding the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations within Caputo derivative is proposed by making use of the fractional generalization of the classical Fad di Bruno formula. The fractional Euler-Lagrange and the fractional Hamilton equations are obtained within the 1 + 1 field formalism. One illustrative example is analyzed. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
