Fractional integration


In fractional calculus, an area of applied mathematics, the differintegral is a combined differentiation/integration operator. Applied to a function ƒ, the q-differintegral of f, here denoted by

is the fractional derivative (if q > 0) or fractional integral (if q < 0). If q = 0, then the q-th differintegral of a function is the function itself. In the context of fractional integration and differentiation, there are several legitimate definitions of the differintegral.

The three most common forms are:

Recall the continuous Fourier transform, here denoted  :

Using the continuous Fourier transform, in Fourier space, differentiation transforms into a multiplication:

So,

which generalizes to

Under the Laplace transform, here denoted by , differentiation transforms into a multiplication
