We examine the fractional derivative of composite functions and present a generalization of the product and chain rules for the Caputo fractional derivative. These results are especially important for physical and biological systems that exhibit multiple spatial and temporal scales, such as porous materials and clusters of neurons, in which transport phenomena are governed by a fractional derivative of slowly varying parameters given in terms of elementary functions. Both the product and chain rules of the Caputo fractional derivative are obtained from the expansion of the fractional derivative in terms of an infinite series of integer order derivatives. The crucial step in the practical implementation of the fractional product rule relies on the exact evaluation of the repeated integral of the generalized hypergeometric function with a power-law argument. By applying the generalized Euler's integral transform, we are able to represent the repeated integral in terms of a single hypergeometric function of a higher order. We demonstrate the obtained results by the exact evaluation of the Caputo fractional derivative of hyperbolic tangent which describes dark soliton propagation in the non-linear media. We conclude that in the most general case both fractional chain and product rules result in an infinite series of the generalized hypergeometric functions.
We consider some possible approaches to the fractional-order generalization of definition of variation (functional) derivative. Some problems of formulation of a fractional-order variational derivative are discussed. To give a consistent definition of the fractional-order variations, we use a fractional generalization of Gateaux differential.
The Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives are generalized for cases when fractional exponent $d$ are functions of space and times coordinates (i.e. $d=d({\bf r}(t),t)$).
We propose a new fractional derivative, the Hilfer-Katugampola fractional derivative. Motivated by the Hilfer derivative this formulation interpolates the well-known fractional derivatives of Hilfer, Hilfer-Hadamard, Riemann-Liouville, Hadamard, Caputo, Caputo-Hadamard, Liouville, Weyl, generalized and Caputo-type. As an application, we consider a nonlinear fractional differential equation with an initial condition using this new formulation. We show that this equation is equivalent to a Volterra integral equation and demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solution to the nonlinear initia…
We introduce a truncated $M$-fractional derivative type for $α$-differentiable functions that generalizes four other fractional derivatives types recently introduced by Khalil et al., Katugampola and Sousa et al., the so-called conformable fractional derivative, alternative fractional derivative, generalized alternative fractional derivative and $M$-fractional derivative, respectively. We denote this new differential operator by $_{i}\mathscr{D}_{M}^{α,β}$, where the parameter $α$, associated with the order of the derivative is such that $ 0 <α<1 $, $β>0$ and $ M $ is the notation to designate…
The paper discusses the characteristic properties of fractional derivatives of non-integer order. It is known that derivatives of integer orders are determined by properties of differentiable functions only in an infinitely small neighborhood of the considered point. Therefore differential equation, which is considered for this point and contains a finite number of integer-order derivatives, cannot describe nonlocality in space and time. This allows us to propose a principle of nonlocality for fractional derivatives. We state that if the differential equation with fractional derivative can be …
In this paper, we address the one-parameter families of the fractional integrals and derivatives defined on a finite interval. First we remind the reader of the known fact that under some reasonable conditions, there exists precisely one unique family of the fractional integrals, namely, the well-known Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. As to the fractional derivatives, their natural definition follows from the fundamental theorem of the Fractional Calculus, i.e., they are introduced as the left-inverse operators to the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Until now, three families of …
A new derivative, called deformable derivative, is introduced here which is equivalent to ordinary derivative in the sense that one implies other. The deformable derivative is defined using limit approach like that of ordinary one but with respect to a parameter varying over unit interval. Thus it could also be regarded as a fractional derivative. Reason of calling it as deformable derivative is because of its intrinsic property of continuously deforming function to derivative. This is substantiated by its linear connection to function and its derivative. Besides discussing some of its basic p…
In this paper we define the regularized version of k-Prabhakar fractional derivative, k-Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative, regularized version of k-Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative and find their Laplace and Sumudu transforms. Using these results, the relation between k-Prabhakar fractional derivative and its regularized ver- sion involving k-Mittag-Leffler function is obtained. Similarly the relation between k-Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative and its regularized version is also obtained. Further, we find the solutions of some problems in physics in which k-Hilfer-Prabhakar fr…
In this paper we introduce a new fractional derivative with respect to another function the so-called $ψ$-Hilfer fractional derivative. We discuss some properties and important results of the fractional calculus. In this sense, we present some uniformly convergent sequence of function results and examples involving the Mittag-Leffler function with one parameter. Finally, we present a wide class of integrals and fractional derivatives, by means of the fractional integral with respect to another function and the $ψ$-Hilfer fractional derivative.
We introduce a new derivative, the so-called truncated $\mathcal{V}$-fractional derivative for $α$-differentiable functions through the six parameters truncated Mittag-Leffler function, which generalizes different fractional derivatives, recently introduced: conformable fractional derivatives, alternative fractional derivative, truncated alternative fractional derivative, $M$-fractional derivative and truncated $M$-fractional derivative. This new truncated $\mathcal{V}$-fractional derivative satisfies properties of the entire order calculus, among them: linearity, product rule, quotient rule, …
This paper is devoted to the study of quasi-periodic properties of fractional order integrals and derivatives of periodic functions. Considering Riemann-Liouville and Caputo definitions, we discuss when the fractional derivative and when the fractional integral of a certain class of periodic functions satisfies particular properties. We study concepts close to the well known idea of periodic function, such as S-asymptotically periodic, asymptotically periodic or almost periodic function. Boundedness of fractional derivative and fractional integral of a periodic function is also studied.
In this paper, we introduce two new non-singular kernel fractional derivatives and present a class of other fractional derivatives derived from the new formulations. We present some important results of uniformly convergent sequences of continuous functions, in particular the Comparison's principle, and others that allow, the study of the limitation of fractional nonlinear differential equations.
In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a fractional boundary value problem supplemented with nonlocal Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and Caputo fractional derivative boundary conditions. Our results are based on some known tools of fixed point theory. Finally, some illustrative examples are included to verify the validity of our results.
This paper deals with the local existence and uniqueness results for the solution of fractional differential equations with Hilfer-Hadamrd fractional derivative. Using Picard's approximations and generalizing the restrictive conditions imposed on nonlinear function, the iterative scheme for uniformly approximating the solution is constructed.
Using the six parameters truncated Mittag-Leffler function, we introduce a convenient truncated function to define the so-called truncated $\mathcal{V}$-fractional derivative type. After a discussion involving some properties associated with this derivative, we propose the derivative of a vector valued function and define the $\mathcal{V}$-fractional Jacobian matrix whose properties allow us to say that: the multivariable truncated $\mathcal{V}$-fractional derivative type, as proposed here, generalizes the truncated $\mathcal{V}$-fractional derivative type and can bee extended to obtain a trun…
In this paper the Sumudu transforms of Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative and regularized version of Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative are obtained. These results are used to obtain relation between them involving Mittag- Leffler function. Also these results are applied to solve some problems in physics. Here the solutions of problems involving Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative and regularized version of Hilfer-Prabhakar fractional derivative are obtained by using Fourier and Sumudu transform techniques.
In this paper we prove that local fractional derivatives of differentiable functions are integer-order derivative or zero operator. We demonstrate that the local fractional derivatives are limits of the left-sided Caputo fractional derivatives. The Caputo derivative of fractional order alpha of function f(x) is defined as a fractional integration of order (n-alpha) of the derivative f^(n)(x) of integer order n. The requirement of the existence of integer-order derivatives allows us to conclude that the local fractional derivative cannot be considered as the best method to describe nowhere diff…
In this paper, we present the Leibniz rule for the $Ψ-$Hilfer ($Ψ-$H) fractional derivative in two versions, the first in relation to $Ψ-$RL fractional derivative and the second in relation to the $Ψ-$H fractional derivative. In this sense, we present some particular cases of Leibniz rules and Leibniz type rules from the investigated case.
In present paper, Hartman-Wintner-type inequality is established for a nonlocal fractional boundary value problem involving k-Prabhakar fractional derivative.
In this paper, we first provide a short summary of the main properties of the so-called general fractional derivatives with the Sonin kernels introduced so far. These are integro-differential operators defined as compositions of the first order derivative and an integral operator of convolution type. Depending on succession of these operators, the general fractional derivatives of the Riemann-Liouville and of the Caputo types were defined and studied. The main objective of this paper is a construction of the 1st level general fractional derivatives that comprise both the general fractional der…
In the article we propose and study a method to solve ordinary differential equations with left-sided fractional Bessel derivatives on semi-axes of Gerasimov-Caputo type. We derive explicit solutions to equations with fractional powers of Bessel operator using the Meijer integral transform.
We establish a new formula for the fractional derivative with Mittag-Leffler kernel, in the form of a series of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, which brings out more clearly the non-locality of fractional derivatives and is easier to handle for certain computational purposes. We also prove existence and uniqueness results for certain families of linear and nonlinear fractional ODEs defined using this fractional derivative. We consider the possibility of a semigroup property for these derivatives, and establish extensions of the product rule and chain rule, with an application to fracti…
In this paper, we show some results about the existence and the uniqueness of the positive solution for a $p$-Laplacian fractional differential equations with fractional derivative boundary condition. Our results are based on Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem, the nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and contraction mapping principle. Three examples are given to illustrate the applicability of our main results.
We derive Taylor's Formula for conformable fractional derivatives. This is then employed to extend some recent and classical integral inequalities to the conformable fractional calculus, including the inequalities of Steffensen, Chebychev, Hermite-Hadamard, Ostrowski, and Gruss.
A new definition of a fractional derivative has recently been developed, making use of a fractional Dirac delta function as its integral kernel. This derivative allows for the definition of a distributional fractional derivative, and as such paves a way for application to many other areas of analysis involving distributions. This includes (but is not limited to): the fractional Fourier series (i.e. an orthonormal basis for fractional derivatives), the fractional derivative of Fourier transforms, and fundamental solutions to differential equations such as the wave equation. This paper observes …
In this paper, we first deduce the explicit formulas for the projector of the $n$th level fractional derivative and for its Laplace transform. Then the fractional relaxation equation with the $n$th level fractional derivative is discussed. It turns out that under some conditions, the solutions to the initial-value problems for this equation are completely monotone functions that can be represented in form of the linear combinations of the Mittag-Leffler functions with some power law weights. Special attention is given to the case of the relaxation equation with the 2nd level derivative.
In this paper, we consider a nonlocal fractional boundary value problem with Prabhakar derivative and obtained a Hartman-Wintner type inequality for it.
In this paper we prove that the fractional derivative or the fractional primitive of a $T$-periodic function cannot be a $\tilde{T}$-periodic function, for any period $\tilde{T}$, with the exception of the zero function.
In this manuscript we define the right fractional derivative and its corresponding right fractional integral for the recently introduced nonlocal fractional derivative with Mittag-Leffler kernel. Then, we obtain the related integration by parts formula. We use the $Q-$operator to confirm our results. The corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations are obtained and one illustrative example is discussed.
Let $α\in\,]0,1[$. We prove that the existence of the conformable fractional derivative $T_αf$ of a function $f:[0,\infty[\,\longrightarrow \mathbb{R}$ introduced by Khalil et al. in [R. Khalil, M. Al Horani, A. Yousef, M. Sababheh, A new definition of fractional derivative, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 264 (2014) 65-70] is equivalent to classical differentiability. Precisely the fractional $α$-derivative of $f$ is the pointwise product $T_αf(x)=x^{1-α}f^{\prime}(x)$, $x>0$. This simplifies the recent results concerning conformable fractional calculus.
In this paper we present a new type of fractional operator, the Caputo-Katugampola derivative. The Caputo and the Caputo-Hadamard fractional derivatives are special cases of this new operator. An existence and uniqueness theorem for a fractional Cauchy type problem, with dependence on the Caputo--Katugampola derivative, is proven. A decomposition formula for the Caputo-Katugampola derivative is obtained. This formula allows us to provide a simple numerical procedure to solve the fractional differential equation.
In this paper, we first deal with the general fractional derivatives of arbitrary order defined in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In particular, we deduce an explicit form of their null space and prove the second fundamental theorem of Fractional Calculus that leads to a closed form formula for their projector operator. These results allow us to formulate the natural initial conditions for the fractional differential equations with the general fractional derivatives of arbitrary order in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the second part of the paper, we develop an operational calculus of the Mikus…
In this paper we consider a Caputo type fractional derivative with respect to another function. Some properties, like the semigroup law, a relationship between the fractional derivative and the fractional integral, Taylor's Theorem, Fermat's Theorem, etc, are studied. Also, a numerical method to deal with such operators, consisting in approximating the fractional derivative by a sum that depends on the first-order derivative, is presented. Relying on examples, we show the efficiency and applicability of the method. Finally, an application of the fractional derivative, by considering a Populati…
In this paper, we obtain new estimates on generalization of Hermite-Hadamard, Simpson and Ostrowski type inequalities for functions whose second derivatives is $φ$-convex via fractional integrals.
In this paper, we propose a new concept of derivative with respect to an arbitrary kernel-function. Several properties related to this new operator, like inversion rules, integration by parts, etc. are studied. In particular, we introduce the notion of conjugate kernels, which will be useful to guaranty that the proposed derivative operator admits a right inverse. The proposed concept includes as special cases Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives, Hadamard fractional derivatives, and many other fractional operators. Moreover, using our concept, new fractional operators involving certain sp…
The existence and stability results for a class of fractional differential equations involving generalized Katugampola derivative are presented herein. Some fixed point theorems are used and enlightening examples of obtained result are also given.
Based on the fractional $q$-integral with the parametric lower limit of integration, we define fractional $q$-derivative of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo type. The properties are studied separately as well as relations between them. Also, we discuss properties of compositions of these operators.
We demonstrate that a violation of the Leibniz rule is a characteristic property of derivatives of non-integer orders. We prove that all fractional derivatives D^a, which satisfy the Leibniz rule D^(fg)=(D^a f) g + f (D^a g), should have the integer order a=1, i.e. fractional derivatives of non-integer orders cannot satisfy the Leibniz rule.
In this paper we introduce Lipschitz spaces with respect to the Gaussian measure, and study the boundedness of the fractional integral and fractional derivative operators on them.The methods are general enough to provide alternative proofs of the ones given in the classical case and moreover can be extended to the case of Laguerre and Jacobi expansions too
In this paper we study the regularity properties of fractional maximal operators acting on $BV$-functions. We establish new bounds for the derivative of the fractional maximal function, both in the continuous and in the discrete settings.
The main aim of this present paper is to present a new extension of the fractional derivative operator by using the extension of Beta function recently defined by Shadab et al.[19]. Moreover, we establish some results related to the newly defined modified fractional derivative operator such as Mellin transform and relations to extended hypergeometric and Appell's function via generating functions.
In this paper, we address the general fractional integrals and derivatives with the Sonine kernels on the spaces of functions with an integrable singularity at the point zero. First, the Sonine kernels and their important special classes and particular cases are discussed. In particular, we introduce a class of the Sonine kernels that possess an integrable singularity of power function type at the point zero. For the general fractional integrals and derivatives with the Sonine kernels from this class, two fundamental theorems of fractional calculus are proved. Then, we construct the $n$-fold g…
In this paper, we introduce the general fractional integrals and derivatives of arbitrary order and study some of their basic properties and particular cases. First, a suitable generalization of the Sonine condition is presented and some important classes of the kernels that satisfy this condition are introduced. Whereas the kernels of the general fractional derivatives with these kernels possess the integrable singularities at the point zero, the kernels of the general fractional integrals can be - depending on their order - both singular and continuous at the origin. For the general fraction…
In this paper, we focus on the existence and uniqueness of solutions of boundary value problems for a coupled system of fractional differential equations with four-point boundary conditions involving $ψ$-Caputo fractional derivatives. Our investigation is based on Leray-Schauder alternative and Banach's fixed point theorem. Two examples are presented to illustrate the applicability of the results developed.
We derive and prove a new formulation of the Lerch zeta function as a fractional derivative of an elementary function. We demonstrate how this formulation interacts very naturally with basic known properties of Lerch zeta, and use the functional equation to obtain a second formulation in terms of fractional derivatives.
