Variational principles compatible with conformable dynamics

Formulate variational principles compatible with dynamics governed by conformable derivatives, deriving Euler–Lagrange equations and boundary conditions that rigorously incorporate temperature-weighted derivatives into action or free-energy functionals.

Background

The authors construct modified Ginzburg–Landau equations using conformable derivatives and provide phenomenological fits to superconducting data. They note the need for a rigorous variational framework consistent with conformable dynamics.

Such principles would ensure that stationary solutions and conserved quantities emerge correctly within the deformed calculus, aligning phenomenological models with mathematical physics foundations.

References

Beyond phenomenological applications, several open questions remain in the rigorous mathematical formulation of the conformable framework. These include the development of a well-defined operator semigroup structure, the spectral theory of deformed differential operators, and the formulation of variational principles compatible with conformable dynamics Godinho et al. [19].
