We extend the fractional actionlike variational approach where we substitute the standard Lagrangian by a non-standard power-law Lagrangian holding a generalized derivative operator. We focus on degenerate Lagrangians for the constructed fractional formalism where we show that non-linear oscillators with damping solutions may be obtained from degenerate non-standard Lagrangians which are linear in velocities. We explore as well the case of 2^nd-order derivatives non-standard Lagrangians and we study the case where Lagrangians are linear in accelerations where damping solutions are obtained as well. It was observed that these extensions give another possibility to obtain more fundamental aspects which may have interesting classical effects.
