Meller's theorem and the algebraic derivative (Q4525544)

Let \(\widehat X\) be a vector space with the convolution \(\widehat *\) such that \((\widehat X,+,\widehat *)\) becomes a ring without zero divisors. On this ring it is assumed that an algebraic derivative \(\widehat D\) is defined. Let \(X\) be another vector space and \(T\) an isomorphism \(T\): \(X\to \widehat X\). The convolution on \(X\), denoted by \(*\), can be defined as: \(x*y= T^{-1}(Tx\widehat *Ty)\). To this convolution an algebraic derivative \(D=T^{-1} \widehat D T\) in the ring \((X,+,*)\) is associated. Applying the results obtained for \(D\), the authors introduce three new operators: \[ D_\beta= {1\over \beta} t^{1-\beta} D,\;\beta>0,\;\Delta_{(1)}= t^{-\beta \gamma}D_\beta t^{\beta \gamma}\text{ and }A_{(1)}= t^{-\beta(\gamma+1)} D_\beta t^{\beta (\gamma+1)}. \] As an application they solve certain differential equations. It is regrettable that the authors do not give a relation between their results and differential equations with fractional derivatives.
