Fractional Hamilton’s Canonical Equations and Poisson Theorem of Mechanical Systems with Fractional Factor

Abstract

Because of the nonlocal and nonsingular properties of fractional derivatives, they are more suitable for modelling complex processes than integer derivatives. In this paper, we use a fractional factor to investigate the fractional Hamilton’s canonical equations and fractional Poisson theorem of mechanical systems. Firstly, a fractional derivative and fractional integral with a fractional factor are presented, and a multivariable differential calculus with fractional factor is given. Secondly, the Hamilton’s canonical equations with fractional derivative are obtained under this new definition. Furthermore, the fractional Poisson theorem with fractional factor is presented based on the Hamilton’s canonical equations. Finally, two examples are given to show the application of the results.
