This paper develops appropriate boundary conditions for the two-sided fractional diffusion equation, where the usual second derivative in space is replaced by a weighted average of positive and negative fractional derivatives. Mass preserving, reflecting boundary conditions for two-sided fractional diffusion involve a balance of left and right fractional derivatives at the boundary. Stable, con...

Here we state the main properties of the Caputo, Riemann-Liouville and the Caputo via Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and give some general notes on these properties. Some properties given in some recent literatures and used to solve fractional nonlinear partial differential equations will be proved that they are incorrect by giving some counter examples.

We state, prove, and discuss new general inequality for convex and increasing functions. As a special case of that general result, we obtain new fractional inequalities involving fractional integrals and derivatives of Riemann-Liouville type. Consequently, we get the inequality of H. G. Hardy from 1918. We also obtain new results involving fractional derivatives of Canavati and Caputo types as ...

The multiindex Mittag-Leffler (M-L) function and the multiindex Dzrbashjan-Gelfond-Leontiev (D-G-L) differentiation and integration play a very pivotal role in the theory and applications of generalized fractional calculus. The object of this paper is to investigate the relations that exist between the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus and multiindex Dzrbashjan-Gelfond-Leontiev differentiat...

In this paper, we tried to evaluate the fractional derivatives by using the Chebyshev series expansion. We discuss the indefinite quadrature rule to estimate the fractional derivatives of Riemann-Liouville type.

We correct a recent result concerning the fractional derivative at extreme points. We then establish new results for the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives at extreme points.

We prove Euler-Lagrange fractional equations and sufficient optimality conditions for problems of the calculus of variations with functionals containing both fractional derivatives and fractional integrals in the sense of Riemann-Liouville.

The aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (PDE) in the electroanalytical chemistry. The space fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the Grunwald- Letnikov discretization of the Ri...

The author (Appl. Math. Comput. 218(3):860-865, 2011) introduced a new fractional integral operator given by, ( I a+f ) (x) = ρ1−α Γ(α) ∫ x a τρ−1f(τ) (xρ − τρ)1−α dτ, which generalizes the well-known Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard fractional integrals. In this paper we present a new fractional derivative which generalizes the familiar Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard fractional derivativ...
