Fractional Dynamics of Relativistic Particle
Fractional dynamics of relativistic particle is discussed. Derivatives of
fractional orders with respect to proper time describe long-term memory effects
that correspond to intrinsic dissipative processes. Relativistic particle
subjected to a non-potential four-force is considered as a nonholonomic system.
The nonholonomic constraint in four-dimensional space-time represents the
relativistic invariance by the equation for four-velocity u_{\mu}
u^{\mu}+c^2=0, where c is a speed of light in vacuum. In the general case, the
fractional dynamics of relativistic particle is described as non-Hamiltonian
and dissipative. Conditions for fractional relativistic particle to be a
Hamiltonian system are considered
