Abstract

In this paper we discuss fractional integrals and fractional derivatives of a function with respect to another function. We present some fundamental properties for both types of fractional operators, such as Taylor's theorem, Leibniz and semigroup rules. We also provide a numerical tool to deal with these operators, by approximating them with a sum involving integer-order derivatives.

Highlights

  • Fractional calculus is an important research field, in pure mathematics, but in applied mathematics, physics, biology, engineering, economics, etc., as well

  • The subject is as old as calculus itself, and goes back to Leibniz and L’Hopital, when the meaning of the derivative of order 1/2 was discussed

  • Fractional operators do not share the same properties and because of this we find a large number of works for similar problems

Summary

Introduction

Fractional calculus is an important research field, in pure mathematics, but in applied mathematics, physics, biology, engineering, economics, etc., as well. [16] The left and right Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals of f of order α > 0, with respect to function ψ, are given by [16] The left and right Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives of f of order α > 0, with respect to function ψ, are given by If f is a continuous function on [a, b], Iaα+,ψf (x) and Ibα−,ψf (x) are well defined for every x ∈ [a, b].
