Perturbation or error bounds of functions have been of great interest for a long time. If the functions are differentiable, then the mean value theorem and Taylor's theorem come handy for this purpose. While the former is useful in…
We introduce the notion of structural derivative on time scales. The new operator of differentiation unifies the concepts of fractal and fractional order derivative and is motivated by lack of classical differentiability of some…
In this paper, a derivative for functions $f : G \to H$, where $G$ is any metric divisible group and $H$ is a metric Abelian group with a group metric, is defined. Basic differentiation theorems are stated and demonstrated. In particular,…
In this paper, we present a new derivative via the Laplace transform. The Laplace transform leads to a natural form of the fractional derivative which is equivalent to a Riemann-Liouville derivative with fixed terminal point. We first…
The fact that the first variation of a variational functional must vanish along an extremizer is the base of most effective solution schemes to solve problems of the calculus of variations. We generalize the method to variational problems…
A natural consequence of the fractional calculus is its extension to a matrix order of differentiation and integration. A matrix-order derivative definition and a matrix-order integration arise from the generalization of the gamma function…
We develop a finite difference approximation of order $\alpha$ for the $\alpha$-fractional derivative. The weights of the approximation scheme have the same rate-matrix type properties as the popular Gr\"unwald scheme. In particular,…
By fractional relativity we mean a theoretical framework to study physics with the dispersion relation $E^{\alpha}=m^{\alpha}c^{2\alpha}+p^{\alpha}c^{\alpha}$, which recovers special relativity at $\alpha=2$. One such framework is…
Two fractional two-phase Stefan-like problems are considered by using Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives of order $\alpha \in (0, 1)$ verifying that they coincide with the same classical Stefan problem at the limit case when…
The evolution of a quantity, described by a function of space and time, relates the first derivative in time of this function to a spatial operator applied to the function. The initial value of the function at time $t=0$ is given. The…
The Additive Transform of an arithmetic function represents a novel approach to examining the interplay between multiplicative arithmetic function and additive functions. This transform concept introduces a method to systematically generate…
Integer-order differential operators were originally used to describe local and isotropic effects, in both space and time. However, in fields like biology, the modelling of complex phenomena with spatial heterogeneity necessitates more…
Using kicked differential equations of motion with derivatives of noninteger orders, we obtain generalizations of the dissipative standard map. The main property of these generalized maps, which are called fractional maps, is long-term…
We establish new combinatorial transcendence criteria for continued fraction expansions. Let $\alpha = [0; a_1, a_2,...]$ be an algebraic number of degree at least three. One of our criteria implies that the sequence of partial quotients…
It is shown phenomenologically that the fractional derivative $\xi=D^\alpha u$ of order $\alpha$ of a multifractal function has a power-law tail $\propto |\xi| ^{-p_\star}$ in its cumulative probability, for a suitable range of $\alpha$'s.…
This paper presents a self-contained new theory of weak fractional differential calculus and fractional Sobolev spaces in one-dimension. The crux of this new theory is the introduction of a weak fractional derivative notion which is a…
This paper presents a reformulation of the Leibniz product rule as a finite sum that expresses the fractional derivative of the product of two differentiable functions. This paper then proves the cases for when the product consists of an…
This paper focuses on the equivalent expression of fractional integrals/derivatives with an infinite series. A universal framework for fractional Taylor series is developed by expanding an analytic function at the initial instant or the…
We prove that if D is a domain in C, alpha>1 and c>0, then the family F of functions meromorphic in D such that |f'(z)|/(1+|f(z)|^alpha)>c for every z in D is normalin D. For alpha=1, the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not…
We discuss some of the mathematical properties of the fractional derivative defined by means of Fourier transforms. We first consider its action on the set of test functions $\Sc(\mathbb R)$, and then we extend it to its dual set,…
