Hamiltonian formalism of fractional systems
In this paper we consider a generalized classical mechanics with fractional
derivatives. The generalization is based on the time-clock randomization of
momenta and coordinates taken from the conventional phase space. The fractional
equations of motion are derived using the Hamiltonian formalism. The approach
is illustrated with a simple-fractional oscillator in a free state and under an
external force. Besides the behavior of the coupled fractional oscillators is
analyzed. The natural extension of this approach to continuous systems is
stated. The interpretation of the mechanics is discussed.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure
