Fractional Complex Euler–Lagrange Equation: Nonconservative Systems

Classical forbidden processes paved the way for the description of mechanical systems with the help of complex Hamiltonians. Fractional integrals of complex order appear as a natural generalization of those of real order. We propose the complex fractional Euler-Lagrange equation, obtained by finding...

description Classical forbidden processes paved the way for the description of mechanical systems with the help of complex Hamiltonians. Fractional integrals of complex order appear as a natural generalization of those of real order. We propose the complex fractional Euler-Lagrange equation, obtained by finding the stationary values associated with the fractional integral of complex order. The complex Hamiltonian obtained from the Lagrangian is suitable for describing nonconservative systems. We conclude by presenting the conserved quantities attached to Noether symmetries corresponding to complex systems. We illustrate the theory with the aid of the damped oscillatory system.
