We show that an optimal solution exists and it is unique for the considered fractional optimal control problem. We calculate the Frechet derivative of the cost functional by means of an adjoint problem and derive necessary optimality conditions. Also, we introduce an efficient numerical approximation for the fractional wave equation with the Atangana-Baleanu derivative.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessArticle292Q1WOS:000460032800018Q12-s2.0-850614494443082373610.1063/1.5086043
