Abstract:

The Noether symmetry and the conserved quantity for a fractional Birkhoffian system in terms of Riesz fractional derivatives are studied. The fractional Pfaff variational problems are presented and the fractional Birkhoff’s equations are established within Riesz-Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and Riesz-Caputo fractional derivatives, respectively. Based on the invariance of the Pfaff action under the infinitesimal transformations, the Noether theorems for the fractional Birkhoffian system are given. The proof of the Noether theorem is done in two steps: first, the Noether theorem under a special one-parameter group of infinitesimal transformations without transforming the time is proved; second, by using a technique of time-reparameterization, the Noether theorem in its general form is obtained. Two examples are given to illustrate the application of the results.
