A note on multidimensional modified fractional calculus operators

In the present investigation some new formulas giving the images under multidimensional modified fractional operators of the celebratedH-function of Fox [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 98 (1961) 395–429] are obtained. Special cases are briefly pointed out and the results are also studied on general spaces of functionsM _γ(R ₊ ⁿ )     

On unified fractional integral operators

The present paper is in continuation to our recent paper [6] in these proceedings. Therein, three composition formulae for a general class of fractional integral operators had been established. In this paper, we develop the Mellin transforms and their inversions, the Mellin convolutions, the associated Parseval-Goldstein theorem and the images of the multivariableH-function together with applications for these operators. In all, seven theorems and two corollaries (involving the Konhauser biorthogonal polynomials and the Jacobi polynomials) have been established in this paper. On account of the most general nature of the polynomials S _n ^m [x] and the multivariableH-function whose product form the kernels of our operators, a large number of (new and known) interesting results involving simpler polynomials and special functions (involving one or more variables) obtained by several authors and hitherto lying scattered in the literature follow as special cases of our findings. We give here exact references to the results (in essence) of seven research papers which follow as simple special cases of our theorems.     

Certain fractional derivative formulae involving the product of a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function

In the present paper, we obtain three unified fractional derivative formulae (FDF). The first involves the product of a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function. The second involves the product of a general class of polynomials and two multivariableH-functions and has been obtained with the help of the generalized Leibniz rule for fractional derivatives. The last FDF also involves the product of a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function but it is obtained by the application of the first FDF twice and it involves two independent variables instead of one. The polynomials and the functions involved in all our fractional derivative formulae as well as their arguments which are of the typex ^ρ Π _i=1 ^s (x ^t _i +α _i ) ^σ _i are quite general in nature. These formulae, besides being of very general character have been put in a compact form avoiding the occurrence of infinite series and thus making them useful in applications. Our findings provide interesting unifications and extensions of a number of (new and known) results. For the sake of illustration, we give here exact references to the results (in essence) of five research papers [2, 3,10, 12, 13] that follow as particular cases of our findings. In the end, we record a new fractional derivative formula involving the product of the Hermite polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials and the product ofr different Whittaker functions as a simple special case of our first formula.     

A note on the identity operators of fractional calculus

The application of an identity operator for Saigo’s fractional calculus operators is shown by evaluating the limit of an indeterminate form. Its special case yields the result which has been used as an infinitesimal generator in the semigroup theory. Also, an identity operator for the recently introduced multi-dimensional fractional operators (due to Srivastava and Raina [8]) is discussed.     

A formula for the powers of fractional order operators

Double convolution integral equations involving a general class of multivariable polynomials and the multivariableH-functions

In this paper we have solved a double convolution integral equation whose kernel involves the product of theH-functions of several variables and a general class of multivariable polynomials. Due to general nature of the kernel, we can obtain from it, solutions of a large number of double and single convolution integral equations involving products of several classical orthogonal polynomials and simpler functions. We have also obtained here solutions of two double convolution integral equations as special cases of our main result. Exact reference of three known results, which are obtainable as particular cases of one of these special cases, have also been included.     

Fractional integral formulae involving a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function

We obtain two fractional integral formulae involving a general class of polynomials and the multivariableH-function. On account of the most general nature of the polynomials and the multivaribleH-function involved herein, our findings provide interesting unifications and extensions of a number of (known and new) results. We have mentioned here only two such results.     

A new class of polynomials associated with Bernstein and beta polynomials

The purpose of this paper is to define a new class polynomials. Special cases of these polynomials give many famous family of the Bernstein type polynomials and beta polynomials. We also construct generating functions for these polynomials. We investigate some fundamental properties of these functions and polynomials. Using functional equations and generating functions, we derive various identities related to theses polynomials. We also construct interpolation function that interpolates these polynomials at negative integers. Finally, we give a matrix representations of these polynomials.

A general finite element formulation for fractional variational problems

This paper presents a general finite element formulation for a class of Fractional Variational Problems (FVPs). The fractional derivative is defined in the Riemann-Liouville sense. For FVPs the Euler-Lagrange and the transversality conditions are developed. In the Fractional Finite Element Formulation (FFEF) presented here, the domain of the equations is divided into several elements, and the functional is approximated in terms of nodal variables. Minimization of this functional leads to a set of algebraic equations which are solved using a numerical scheme. Three examples are considered to show the performance of the algorithm. Results show that as the number of discretization is increased, the numerical solutions approach the analytical solutions, and as the order of the derivative approaches an integer value, the solution for the integer order system is recovered. For unspecified boundary conditions, the numerical solutions satisfy the transversality conditions. This indicates that for the class of problems considered, the numerical solutions can be obtained directly from the functional, and there is no need to solve the fractional Euler-Lagrange equations. Thus, the formulation extends the traditional finite element approach to FVPs.

Certain fractional calculus and integral transform results of incomplete ℵ-functions with applications

In this paper, we study certain interesting and useful properties of incomplete $\aleph$-functions. The incomplete $\aleph$-function is an extension of the $\aleph$-function. We find several useful classical integral transforms of these functions. Further, we examine the fractional calculus with the incomplete $\aleph$-functions and point out several special cases. Finally, we give the applications of incomplete $\aleph$-functions in detecting glucose supply in human blood.     

Powers and roots of Toeplitz operators

We study the commutativity of two Toeplitz operators whose symbols are quasihomogeneous functions. We give a relationship between this commutativity and the roots (or powers) of the Toeplitz operators. We use this to characterize Toeplitz operators with symbols in which commute with Toeplitz operators whose symbols are of the form .

     

Around operators not increasing the degree of polynomials

We present a generic operator J defined on the vectorial space of polynomial functions and we address the problem of finding the polynomial sequences that coincide with the (normalized) J-image of themselves. The technique developed assembles different types of operators and initiates with a transposition of the problem to the dual space. We provide examples for a J limited to three terms.     

Solution to system of partial fractional differential equations using the fractional exponential operators

In this article, fractional exponential operator is considered as a general approach for solving partial fractional differential equations.

Also, effectiveness of this operator for obtaining the formal solution of system of diffusion equations is discussed. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Malliavin calculus for stochastic differential equations driven by a fractional Brownian motion

We prove the Malliavin regularity of the solution of a stochastic differential equation driven by a fractional Brownian motion of Hurst parameter H>0.5$H>0.5$. The result is based on the Fréchet differentiability with respect to the input function for deterministic differential equations driven by Hölder continuous functions. It is also shown that the law of the solution has a density with respect to the Lebesgue measure, under a suitable nondegeneracy condition.     

Approximation by a sequence of operators of the Srivastava‐Gupta type involving the Brenke polynomials with a certain parameter

We introduce a new sequence of linear positive operators by combining the Brenke polynomials and the Srivastava‐Gupta–type operators defined by Srivastava‐Gupta. obtain the moments of the operators and present some classical and statistical approximation properties by means of Korovkin results. Next, we estimate a global result, which includes the Voronovskaya‐type asymptotic formula, local approximation, error estimation in terms of weighted modulus of continuity, and for functions in a Lipschitz‐type space. Lastly, we estimate the rate of approximation for functions with derivatives of bounded variation.
