Advancing Fractional Riesz Derivatives through Dunkl Operators

Abstract

The aim of this work is to introduce a novel concept, Riesz–Dunkl fractional derivatives, within the context of Dunkl-type operators. A particularly noteworthy revelation is that when a specific parameter κ equals zero, the Riesz–Dunkl fractional derivative smoothly reduces to both the well-known Riesz fractional derivative and the fractional second-order derivative. Furthermore, we introduce a new concept: the fractional Sobolev space. This space is defined and characterized using the versatile framework of the Dunkl transform.
