We investigate which polynomials can possibly occur as factors in the denominators of rational solutions of a given partial linear difference equation (PLDE). Two kinds of polynomials are to be distinguished, we call them /periodic/ and…
In this note, we present a simple summation formula for $k$-bonacci numbers. The derivation consists in obtaining the generating function of such numbers, and noting that its evaluation at a particular value yields a formula generalizing a…
We consider three classes of linear differential equations on distribution functions, with a fractional order $\alpha\in [0,1].$ The integer case $\alpha =1$ corresponds to the three classical extreme families. In general, we show that…
We give a combinatorial rule for calculating the coefficients in the expansion of a product of two factorial Schur functions. It is a special case of a more general rule which also gives the coefficients in the expansion of a skew factorial…
We investigate the combinatorics of the general formulas for the powers of the operator $h \partial^k$, where $h$ is a central element of a ring and $\partial$ is a differential operator. This generalizes previous work on the powers of…
It is well known that for every $f\in C^m$ there exists a polynomial $p_n$ such that $p^{(k)}_n\rightarrow f^{(k)}$, $k=0,\ldots,m$. Here we prove such a result for fractional (non-integer) derivatives. Moreover, a numerical method is…
Fractional diffusion equations imply non-Gaussian distributions that generalise the standard diffusive process. Recent advances in fractional calculus lead to a class of new fractional operators defined by non-singular memory kernels,…
We establish a new formula for the fractional derivative with Mittag-Leffler kernel, in the form of a series of Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals, which brings out more clearly the non-locality of fractional derivatives and is easier…
A concise derivation of a new multiplicative product of Schwartz distributions is presented. The new product $\star$ is defined in the vector space ${\cal A}$ of piecewise smooth functions on $\bkR$ and all their (distributional)…
In this paper we consider a Caputo type fractional derivative with respect to another function. Some properties, like the semigroup law, a relationship between the fractional derivative and the fractional integral, Taylor's Theorem,…
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…
In this note a generalization of the Lamb-Bateman integral equation is presented and its solution is given in terms of {\bf fractional derivatives}. This is a comment one to the paper by Babusci, Dattoli and Sacchetti (arXiv:1006.0184…
We use a Leibnitz rule type inequality for fractional derivatives to prove conditions under which a solution $u(x,t)$ of the k-generalized KdV equation is in the space $L^2(|x|^{2s}\,dx)$ for $s \in \mathbb R_{+}$.
In 2017, O. Deiser and C. Lasser obtained an explicit formula for the $n$-th derivative of the inverse tangent function. We calculate this derivative by a different method based on Fa\`a di Bruno's formula. Comparing the two results leads…
In this paper we discuss fractional generalizations of the filtering problem. The "fractional" nature comes from time-changed state or observation processes, basic ingredients of the filtering problem. The mathematical feature of the…
We present a new variant of the Faa di Bruno formula with a simpler summation order.
The Fibonacci polynomials are defined recursively as $f_{n}(x)=xf_{n-1}(x)+f_{n-2}(x)$, where $f_0(x) = 0$ and $f_1(x)= 1$. We generalize these polynomials to an arbitrary number of variables with the $r$-Fibonacci polynomial. We extend…
We give a combinatorial proof of a formula giving the partial sums of the $k$-bonacci sequence as alternating sums of powers of two multiplied by binomial coefficients. As a corollary we obtain a formula for the $k$-bonacci numbers.
In this paper, we introduce two new non-singular kernel fractional derivatives and present a class of other fractional derivatives derived from the new formulations. We present some important results of uniformly convergent sequences of…
From the point of view of stochastic analysis the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville derivatives of order $\al \in (0,2)$ can be viewed as (regularized) generators of stable L\'evy motions interrupted on crossing a boundary. This interpretation…
