A fractional power approach to fractional calculus (Q919594): Difference between revisions

A theory of fractional powers of operators on an arbitrary Fréchet space is discussed. As special cases, multivariable fractional integrals and derivatives defined on certain spaces of test functions and generalised functions are obtained. In particular, properties of the two- dimensional Riesz fractional integral are determined and used to solve a distributional initial value problem involving the wave operator.
