Variable order Mittag-Leffler fractional operators on isolated time scales and application to the calculus of variations

We introduce new fractional operators of variable order on isolated time scales with Mittag-Leffler kernels. This allows a general formulation of a class of fractional variational problems involving variable-order difference operators. Main results give fractional integration by parts formulas and necessary optimality conditions of Euler-Lagrange type.Comment: This is a preprint of a paper whose final and definite form is with Springe

On the existence of fixed points that belong to the zero set of a certain function

Let T : X -> X be a given operator and F-T be the set of its fixed points. For a certain function phi : X -> [0,infinity), we say that F-T is phi-admissible if F-T is nonempty and F-T subset of Z(phi), where Z(phi) is the zero set of phi. In this paper, we study the phi-admissibility of a new class of operators. As applications, we establish a new homotopy result and we obtain a partial metric version of the Boyd-Wong fixed point theorem
