We study fractional variational problems in terms of a generalized fractional
integral with Lagrangians depending on classical derivatives, generalized
fractional integrals and derivatives. We obtain necessary optimality conditions
for the basic and isoperimetric problems, as well as natural boundary
conditions for free boundary value problems. The fractional action-like
variational approach (FALVA) is extended and some applications to Physics
discussed.
We give a proper fractional extension of the classical calculus of variations
by considering variational functionals with a Lagrangian depending on a
combined Caputo fractional derivative and the classical derivative.
Euler-Lagrange equations to the basic and isoperimetric problems are proved, as
well as transversality conditions.
