［STHZ］0 Introduction［ST］

In 1917，adiabatic invariant was first proposed by Burgers［1］．A certain physical quantity is called adiabatic invariant of a system if it varies more slowly than the parameters which change very slowly．In fact，the parameter changing very slowly can be expressed as the action of small disturbance．Under the action of small disturbance，the original symmetry and conserved quantity may change．At the same time，because perturbation to symmetry and adiabatic invariant concern the integrability of the equations of motion of mechanical systems，they were studied by many scientists，and many important results were obtained［2－9］．However，almost all of those results about adiabatic invariant referred to only integer order derivatives of the variables．Therefore，there is still much to do on the aspect of the noninteger order derivatives of the variables．Hence，in this paper，we intend to study perturbation to symmetry and adiabatic invariant in terms of fractional calculus．

Fractional calculus has been studied for more than 300years by many famous mathematicians，and many significant results about fractional calculus have been obtained［10－17］．Besides，based on the fractional calculus，Riewe［18－19］investigated the version of the Euler－Lagrange equations for the problem of the calculus of variations with fractional derivatives under the conservative and non－conservative cases respectively．Since then，many further studies on fractional problems can be found［20－38］．For example，in 2002，Agrawal［20］proved a formulation for the variational problem in the sense of Riemann－Liouville derivatives．Then Baleanu and Avkar［26］used those Euler－Lagrange equations to study the problem with Lagrangian which is linear on the velocities．Frederico and Torres［27］used the notion of the Euler－Lagrange fractional extremal［20］to prove a Noethertype theorem．Using the similar method adopted in Ref．［27］，Zhou［39］studied the fractional Pfaff－Birkhoff principle in terms of Riemann－Liouville derivatives，and obtained the fractional Birkhoff equations，the corresponding transversality conditions and the fractional－conserved quantities．Based on the results of Refs．［27，39］，we intend to study the adiabatic invariant of the fractional calculus of variations．

2 Fractional Adiabatic Invariants

In this section，we study adiabatic invariants under the general and special infinitesimal transformations for the fractional Lagrangian system and the fractional Birkhoffian system．

2．1 Adiabatic invariants for the fractional Lagrangian system

Firstly，let′s consider only the infinitesimal transformation forq

whereζis called the infinitesimal generator．

Theorem 1［27］Under the infinitesimal transformation（10），if the condition

holds，then

Theorem 2［27］Under the infinitesimal transformations

if functional（4）is invariant，i．e．

for any subinterval ［ta，tb］ ［a，b］

For the fractional Lagrangian system （Eq．（5）），ifζ0satisfies Eq．（11），the following exact invariant exists

Similarly，ifτ0，ζ0satisfy Eq．（14），the exact invariant exists as follows

Suppose the fractional Lagrangian system（Eq．（5））is disturbed by small quantityεQ，then we can get the disturbed fractional Euler－La－grange equation

Under the action of small force of perturbationεQ，the invariant of the system may vary．Suppose that the disturbed infinitesimal generatorζcan be expressed as

we have Theorem 3as follow．

Theorem 3 For the disturbed fractional Lagrangian system （Eq．（18）），if the infinitesimal generatorsζjj＝0，1，2，…（

）satisfy

the disturbed fractional Lagrangian system has az－th order adiabatic invariant

where we setζj－1＝0，whenj＝0．

Hence，the proof is completed．

Theorem 4 Under the infinitesimal transformations

where

the disturbed fractional Lagrangian system （Eq．（18））has az－th order adiabatic invariant

Proof In order to considertas a dependent variable，we use a Lipschitzian one－to－one transformation

which satisfiest′σ＝f（λ）＝1whenλ＝0，t（σa）＝a，t（σb）＝b．

From the definitions of the right Riemann－Liouville fractional derivative and the left Riemann－Liouville fractional derivative，we have

Hence

From Theorem 3，we can obtain

Ifλ＝0，we can get

Therefore，whenλ＝0，we have

The proof is completed．

2．2 Adiabatic invariants for the fractional Birkhoffian system

We consider only the infinitesimal transformations foraμ

whereξνν＝1，2，…，2n（）are called the infinitesimal generators．

Theorem 5［39］Under the infinitesimal transformations（Eq．（31）），if

we have

Therefore，for the fractional Birkhoffian system（Eq．（7）），ifsatisfies Eq．（32），exact invariant exists as follows

Theorem 6［39］Under the infinitesimal transformations

if functional（6）is invariant，i．e．

for any［T1，T2］［t1，t2］

is a fractional conserved quantity for the fractional Birkhoffian system （Eq．（7））．

Therefore，for the fractional Birkhoffian system（Eq．（7）），ifsatisfy Eq．（36），there ex－ists exact invariant

Suppose the fractional Birkhoffian system（Eq．（7））is disturbed by small quantitiesεQμ（μ＝1，2，…，2n），then we can get the disturbed fractional Birkhoff equations

Under the action of small forces of perturbationεQμ，the invariant of the system may vary．Suppose that the disturbed infinitesimal genera－torscan be expressed as

Then we have Theorem 7as follow．

Theorem 7 For the disturbed fractional Birkhoffian system （Eq．（39）），if the infinitesimal generatorsξjμj＝0，1，2，…（

）satisfy

the disturbed fractional Birkhoff system has azth order adiabatic invariant

where we set

Proof From the disturbed fractional Birkhoff equations and the condition，we have

The proof is completed．

Theorem 8 Under the infinitesimal transformations

where

the disturbed fractional Birkhoffian system （Eq．（39））has az－th order adiabatic invariant

Proof Consider a one to one transformation

which satisfiest（σ1）＝t1，t（σ2）＝t2andt′σ＝dt（σ）／dσ＝f（λ）＝1，whenλ＝0．

From the definitions of the right Riemann－Liouville fractional derivative and the left Riemann－Liouville fractional derivative，we can get

Forλ＝0，we have

Hence，using the similar method adopted for Theorem 4，from Theorem 7，forλ＝0，we can get

The proof is completed．

3 Two Illustrative Examples

Suppose the system （Eq．（5））is disturbed by the following small quantities

By calculating，the following solutions

satisfy Eq．（20）．Therefore，from Theorem 3，we get

Of course，we can also obtain the higher－order adiabatic invariants．

Example 2 Let us consider the extreme value for the following fractional problem of the calculus of variations

The problem （Eq．（55））is a fourth order Pfaff－Birkhoff fractional problem of the calculus of variations in terms of Riemann－Liouville derivatives．From Eq．（55），we obtain that

Obviously，the following solutions

satisfy the condition （32）．Then we can get the exact invariant from Eq．（34）that

Suppose the system （Eq．（7））is disturbed by the following small quantities

By some calculations，the following solutions

satisfy Eq．（41）．Hence，from Theorem 7，we get

Of course，we can also obtain the higher－order adiabatic invariants．

4 Conclusions

In this paper，adiabatic invariants are studied for the fractional Lagrangian system and the fractional Birkhoffian system in the sense of Riemann－Liouville derivatives under the special and general infinitesimal transformations．We can also get adiabatic invariants in the sense of Caputo derivatives，Riesz－Caputo derivatives， Riesz－Riemann－Liouville derivatives and so on．Besides，much work deserves to do since adiabatic invariant and fractional variational problems are still in their early days．
