Katugampola fractional integral and fractal dimension of bivariate functions (Q2044610)

The authors introduced the mixed Katugampola fractional integral of a bivariate function defined on a rectangular region in the Cartesian plane and which is a natural extension of the Katugampola fractional integral of an univariate function -- a concept well-received in the recent literature of fractional calculus and its applications. Further, it is shown that the mixed Katugampola fractional integral of a prescribed bivariate function preserves properties such as boundedness, continuity and bounded variation of the function. The authours estimated fractal dimension of the graph of the mixed Katugampola integral of a continuous bivariate function. Some examples for bivariate functions that are not of bounded variation but with graphs having box dimension 2 are constructed.
