In mathematics and theoretical physics, variational (functional) derivative is a generalization of usual derivative that arises in the calculus of variations. In a variation instead of differentiating a function with respect to a variable, one differentiates a functional with respect to a function. Using the fractional calculus, we consider a fractional generalization of variational (functional) derivatives.
