A comparative analysis of the Hamiltonian and Lagrangian equations for the Maxwell field was conducted, and it was demonstrated that both methods are equivalent. Dirac’s and Euler’s techniques were employed to handle the Hamiltonian approach. Additionally, a novel fractional Hamilton formulation was developed for the Maxwell field using fractional derivatives. This formulation yielded a fractional Riemann-Liouville derivative operator and a fractional Hamilton function in terms of the variables Ai, Aj, and A0. The effectiveness of this approach was verified by employing it to examine Maxwell’s electrodynamic equation, and the results obtained were in perfect agreement, confirming the validity of the study
