“…This is possible through a powerful tool known as the Euler-Lagrange equation [33]. Recently the theory of the calculus of variations has been considered in the fractional context [7,8,10,11,12,13,14,23,25,27,32]. The fractional calculus allows to generalize the ordinary differentiation and integration to an arbitrary (non-integer) order, and provides a powerful tool for modeling and solving various problems in science and engineering [28,29,31].…”
