The Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives are generalized for cases when fractional exponent $d$ are functions of space and times coordinates (i.e. $d=d({\bf r}(t),t)$).
The existence of solutions to Cauchy type problems of linear Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations with variable coefficients is considered in a space of integrable functions. First, we consider the existence and uniqueness of solution for a Cauchy type problem with special initial conditions in the space of integrable functions. Then we provide an example of the problem that has no solution in the space of integrable functions. We give a solving method and a representation of solutions for the Cauchy type problem. Last we give some examples.
This paper provides the existence and representation of solution to an initial value problem for the general multi-term linear fractional differential equation with generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and constant coefficients by using operational calculus of Mikusinski's type. We prove that the initial value problem has the solution of if and only if some initial values should be zero.
In this paper, we extend the Montogomery identities for the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We also use this Montogomery identities to establish some new integral inequalities for convex functions.
In this paper, we establish some new Ostrowski's type inequalities for m- and (alpha,m)- logarithmically convex functions by using the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals.
We study semiclassical correlation functions in Liouville field theory on a two-sphere when all operators have large conformal dimensions. In the usual approach, such computation involves solving the classical Liouville equation, which is known to be extremely difficult for higher-point functions. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a new method based on the Riemann-Hilbert analysis, which is applied recently to the holographic calculation of correlation functions in AdS/CFT. The method allows us to directly compute the correlation functions without solving the Liouville equation explicitl…
In this paper, we extend the weighted Montogomery identities for the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We also use this Montogomery identities to establish some new Ostrowski type integral inequalities.
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.
In this paper, we present some results for existence of global solutions and attractivity for mulidimensional fractional differential equations involving Riemann-Liouville derivative. First, by using a Bielecki type norm and Banach fixed point theorem, we prove a Picard-Lindelöf type theorem on the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Then, applying the properties of Mittag-Leffler functions, we describe the attractivity of solutions to some classes of Riemann--Liouville linear fractional differential systems.
In this article we establish a Lyapunov-type inequality for two-point Riemann-Liouville fractional boundary value problems associated with well-posed Robin boundary conditions. To illustrate the applicability of established result, we deduce criterion for the nonexistence of real zeros of a Mittag-Leffler function.
In this paper, we aim to present new extensions of incomplete gamma, beta, Gauss hypergeometric, confluent hypergeometric function and Appell-Lauricella hypergeometric functions, by using the extended Bessel function due to Boudjelkha [4]. Some recurrence relations, transformation formulas, Mellin transform and integral representations are obtained for these generalizations. Further, an extension of the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative operator is established.
This paper targets to study the effect of the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator on unbounded variation points of a continuous function. In particular, we show that the fractional integral preserves the bounded variation points of a function. We also prove that the fractional integral operator is a bounded linear operator on the class of bounded variation and continuous functions.
In this article, we investigate the fractal dimension of the graph of the mixed Riemann-Liouville fractional integral for various choice of continuous functions on a rectangular region. We estimate bounds for the box dimension and the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of the mixed Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of the functions which belong to the class of continuous functions and the class of Holder continuous functions. We also show that the box dimension of the graph of the mixed Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of two-dimensional continuous functions is also two. Furthermore, we…
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.
In this paper, we consider a new class of convex functions which is called $λ$-preinvex functions. We prove several Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable $λ$-preinvex functions via Fractional Integrals. Some special cases are also discussed.
In this paper, we are concerned with the mild solutions of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations with nonlocal conditions in Banach space. We use Banach contraction principle to prove the existence and uniqueness. Moreover, we derive the existence by using Krasnoselkii's theorem. An illustrative example is presented.
In this article we establish a few Lyapunov-type inequalities for two-point discrete fractional boundary value problems involving Riemann-Liouville type backward differences. To illustrate the applicability of established results, we obtain criteria for the nonexistence of nontrivial solutions and estimate lower bounds for eigenvalues of the corresponding eigenvalue problems. We also apply these inequalities to deduce criteria for the nonexistence of real zeros of certain discrete Mittag-Leffler functions.
Taking inspiration from a recent paper by Bergounioux, Leaci, Nardi and Tomarelli we study the Riemann-Liouville fractional Sobolev space $W^{s, p}_{RL, a+}(I)$, for $I = (a, b)$ for some $a, b \in \mathbb{R}, a < b$, $s \in (0, 1)$ and $p \in [1, \infty]$; that is, the space of functions $u \in L^{p}(I)$ such that the left Riemann-Liouville $(1 - s)$-fractional integral $I_{a+}^{1 - s}[u]$ belongs to $W^{1, p}(I)$. We prove that the space of functions of bounded variation and the fractional Sobolev space, $BV(I)$ and $W^{s, 1}(I)$, continuously embed into $W^{s, 1}_{RL, a+}(I)$. In addition, …
In this paper, the incomplete Pochhammer ratios are defined in terms of the incomplete beta function $B_{y}(x,z)$. With the help of these incomplete Pochhammer ratios, we introduce new incomplete Gauss, confluent hypergeometric and Appell's functions and investigate several properties of them such as integral representations, derivative formulas, transformation formulas, and recurrence relation. Furthermore, an incomplete Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative operators are introduced. This definition helps us to obtain linear and bilinear generating relations for the new incomplete Gauss hyp…
This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions for m-point p-Laplacian fractional boundary value problem involving Riemann Liouville fractional integral boundary conditions on the half line via the Leray-Schauder Nonlinear Alternative theorem and the use and some properties of the Green function. As an application, an example is presented to demonstrate our main result.
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…
It is proved that given $-1/2<s<1/2$, for any $f\in L^2(\mathbb{R})$, there is a unique $u\in \widehat{H}^{|s|}(\mathbb{R})$ such that $$ f=\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}u+\boldsymbol{D}^{s*}u\,, $$ where $\boldsymbol{D}^{-s}, \boldsymbol{D}^{s*}$ are fractional Riemann-Liouville operators and the fractional derivatives are understood in the weak sense. Furthermore, the regularity of $u$ is discussed, and other versions of the results are established. As an interesting consequence, the Fourier transform of elements of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$ is characterized.
The theory of fractional calculus has developed in a number of directions over the years, including: the formulation of multiple different definitions of fractional differintegration; the extension of various properties of standard calculus into the fractional scenario; the application of fractional differintegrals to assorted special functions. Recently, a new variant of fractional calculus has arisen, namely incomplete fractional calculus. In two very recent papers, incomplete versions of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional differintegrals have been formulated and applied to several …
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.
We first prove the equivalence of two definitions of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral on time scales, then by the concept of fractional derivative of Riemann-Liouville on time scales, we introduce fractional Sobolev spaces, characterize them, define weak fractional derivatives, and show that they coincide with the Riemann-Liouville ones on time scales. Next, we prove equivalence of some norms in the introduced spaces and derive their completeness, reflexivity, separability and some imbeddings. Finally, as an application, by constructing an appropriate variational setting, using the mounta…
We introduce the concept of fractional derivative of Riemann-Liouville on time scales. Fundamental properties of the new operator are proved, as well as an existence and uniqueness result for a fractional initial value problem on an arbitrary time scale.
Starting from the Riemann-Liouville derivative, many authors have built their own notion of fractional derivative in order to avoid some classical difficulties like a non zero derivative for a constant function or a rather complicated analogue of the Leibniz relation. Discussing in full generality the existence of such operator over continuous functions, we derive some obstruction Lemma which can be used to prove the triviality of some operators as long as the linearity and the Leibniz property are preserved. As an application, we discuss some properties of the Jumarie's fractional derivative …
In this study, the existence results of solution is given for fractional p-Laplacian Stum-Liouville problem for diffusion operator of order with impulsive conditions. The derivatives are described in Riemann-Liouville and Caputo sense. The Riemann-Liouville integral operator is used to acquire the integral representation of solution. The existence of solution is demonstrate via Schaefer fixed point theorem.
A discrete version of the symmetric duality of Caputo-Torres, to relate left and right Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional differences, is considered. As a corollary, we provide an evidence to the fact that in case of right fractional differences, one has to mix between nabla and delta operators. As an application, we derive right fractional summation by parts formulas and left fractional difference Euler-Lagrange equations for discrete fractional variational problems whose Lagrangians depend on right fractional differences.
Riemann's non-differentiable function is one of the most famous examples of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, but it has also been shown to be relevant from a physical point of view. Indeed, it satisfies the Frisch-Parisi multifractal formalism, which establishes a relationship with turbulence and implies some intermittent nature. It also plays a surprising role as a physical trajectory in the evolution of regular polygonal vortices that follow the binormal flow. With this motivation, we focus on one more classic tool to measure intermittency, namely the fourth-order flatness, a…
We introduce and present the general solution of three two-term fractional differential equations of mixed Caputo/Riemann Liouville type. We then solve a Dirichlet type Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem for a fractional differential equation derived from a special composition of a Caputo and a Riemann-Liouville operator on a finite interval where the boundary conditions are induced by evaluating Riemann-Liouville integrals at those end-points. For each $1/2<α<1$ it is shown that there is a finite number of real eigenvalues, an infinite number of non-real eigenvalues, that the number of such r…
In recent years, the theory for Leibniz integral rule in the fractional sense has not been able to get substantial development. As an urgent problem to be solved, we study a Leibniz integral rule for Riemann-Liouville and Caputo type differentiation operators with general fractional-order of $n-1 <α\leq n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$ . A rule of fractional differentiation under integral sign with general order is necessary and applicable tool for verification by substitution for candidate solutions of inhomogeneous multi-term fractional differential equations. We derive explicit analytical solutions o…
Using the new conformable fractional derivative, which differs from the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives, we reformulate the second-order conjugate boundary value problem in this new setting. Utilizing the corresponding positive fractional Green's function, we apply a functional compression-expansion fixed point theorem to prove the existence of a positive solution. We then compare our results favorably to those based on the Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative.
We prove Cauchy's formula for repeated integration on time scales. The obtained relation gives rise to new notions of fractional integration and differentiation on arbitrary nonempty closed sets.
In this study, we give the Sturm comparison theorems for discrete fractional Sturm-Liouville (DFSL) equations within Riemann-Liouville and Grünwald-Letnikov sense. The emergence of Sturm-Liouville equations began as one dimensional Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics and one of the most important results is Sturm comparison theorems [27]. These theorems give information about the properties of zeros of two equations having different potentials.
