In the present article, a new method for the evaluation of fractional derivatives of arbitrary real order is proposed. Numerous but inequivalent formulations have been given in the past. Some of them exhibit unsatisfactory properties such…
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…
As the title suggests, we give a formula for the $n^{th}$ derivative of a quotient of two functions, analogous to Leibniz's formula for the product. This particular note has remained unpublished since 2007 (available only my website),…
Most of theoretical physics is based on the mathematics of functions of a real or a complex variable; yet we frequently are drawn to try extending our reach to include quaternions. The non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses…
We introduce a new fractional derivative which obeys classical properties including: linearity, product rule, quotient rule, power rule, chain rule, vanishing derivatives for constant functions, the Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value…
Explicit expressions are proven for derivatives of the ratio of a determinant or Pfaffian determinant and a Vandermonde determinant. Such ratios appear for example in general group integrals of Harish-Chandra--Itzykson--Zuber type and in…
Here we follow the basic analysis that is common for real and complex variables and find how it can be applied to a quaternionic variable. Non-commutativity of the quaternion algebra poses obstacles for the usual manipulations; but we show…
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…
We introduce a new fractional derivative that generalizes the so-called alternative fractional derivative recently proposed by Katugampola. We denote this new differential operator by $\mathscr{D}_{M}^{\alpha,\beta }$, where the parameter…
In this paper, we deal with a Cauchy problem for a nonlinear fractional differential equation with the Caputo derivative of order $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. As initial data, we consider a pair consisting of an initial point, which does not…
It is well known that the Bernoulli polynomials $\mathbf{B}_n(x)$ have nonintegral coefficients for $n \geq 1$. However, ten cases are known so far in which the derivative $\mathbf{B}'_n(x)$ has only integral coefficients. One may assume…
We study the enumeration of set partitions, according to their length, number of parts, cyclic type, and genus. We introduce genus-dependent Bell, Stirling numbers, and Fa\`a di Bruno coefficients. Besides attempting to summarize what is…
In this article, the existence and uniqueness about the solution for a class of stochastic fractional-order differential equation systems are investigated, where the fractional derivative is described in Caputo sense. The fractional…
The goal of this work is to discuss how should we impose initial values in fractional problems to ensure that they have exactly one smooth unique solution, where smooth simply means that the solution lies in a certain suitable space of…
We present a decomposition of the generalized binomial coefficients associated with Jack polynomials into two factors: a stem, which is described explicitly in terms of hooks of the indexing partitions, and a leaf, which inherits various…
We generalize the fractional Caputo derivative to the fractional derivative ${^CD^{\alpha,\beta}_{\gamma}}$, which is a convex combination of the left Caputo fractional derivative of order $\alpha$ and the right Caputo fractional derivative…
In this paper we use Faa di Bruno's formula to associate Bell polynomial values to differential equations of the form $y^{\prime}=f(y)$. That is, we use partial Bell polynomials to represent the solution of such an equation and use the…
Given two real functions on the real line f and g, the Faa di Bruno provides the higher order derivative of the composition of f and g, as a summation over the lower order derivatives of f and g individually. The corresponding…
Based on the continuous time random walk, we derive the Fokker-Planck equations with Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative, which can effectively model a variety of physical phenomena, especially, the material heterogeneities and structures…
We develop a compositional approach for automatic and symbolic differentiation based on categorical constructions in functional analysis where derivatives are linear functions on abstract vectors rather than being limited to scalars,…
