Noether’s theorem for fractional variational problem from El-Nabulsi extended exponentially fractional integral in phase space

Abstract

This paper focuses on studying Noether’s theorem in phase space for fractional variational problems from extended exponentially fractional integral introduced by El-Nabulsi. Both holonomic and nonholonomic systems are studied. First, the fractional variational problem from extended exponentially fractional integral, as well as El-Nabulsi–Hamilton’s canonical equations are established; second, the definitions and criteria of fractional Noether symmetric transformations and fractional Noether quasi-symmetric transformations are presented which are based on the invariance of El-Nabulsi–Hamilton action under the infinitesimal group transformations; finally, the fractional Noether’s theorem is established, which reveals the inner relationship between a fractional Noether symmetry and a fractional conserved quantity.
