This type of fractional operator is a generalization of the Caputo and the Caputo--Hadamard fractional derivatives, that are dependent on a real parameter ro. Sufficient and necessary conditions of the first and second order are presented. The cases of integral and holonomic constraints are also considered.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-24T15:14:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "caputo-type fractional derivative", "variational problems", "caputo-hadamard fractional derivatives", "real parameter ro", "lagrange function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160107376A" } } }
