I discuss the Lagrangian procedure for the treatment of higher-order fractional field equations in (0+1) dimensions based on the fractional action-like variational problems with higher-order derivatives. We explore the case in which the derivatives appear only in the invariant d'Alembertian operator. Some interesting consequences are revealed.
