SUMMARY

This chapter contains a brief review on the recent developments and
investigations carried out by various authors in the field of fractional calculus and
their applications. Definitions of various fractional differential and integral
operators, special functions, M-series, and fractional kinetic equations have also
been included in this chapter. Most of these functions and operators will be
needed in presenting the results of the subsequent chapters.

1.1 PROLOGUE:

Fractional calculus is the field of mathematical analysis which deals
with the investigations and applications of integrals and derivatives of
arbitrary order, which we shall term as differintegral operators. It is also
known by several other names such as Generalized Integral and
Differential Calculus and Calculus of Arbitrary Order. Fractional calculus
can be categorized as applicable Mathematics. During the last three
decades scientists have found many applications of fractional calculus in
the field of physics, chemistry, quantitative biology, engineering, image
1
and signal processing, rheology, diffusion and transport theory etc.
(Podlubny, 1999, Kilbas et al., 2006).

The prominent mathematicians like Abel (1826), Liouville (1832),
Grünwald (1867), Letnikov (1868, 1872), Weyl (1917), Littlewood
(1925), Kober (1940), Zygmund (1945), Riesz (1949), Erdélyi (1940),
Erdélyi and Kober (1965) have made fundamental discoveries in fractional
calculus up to the middle of 20th century. In last three decades numerous
research papers have been published related to the fractional calculus and
applied the theory of fractional operators in obtaining certain remarkable
results. That is fractional integrals, fractional derivatives and fractional
differential equations. The research papers contributed by Raina and Koul
(1979), Raina and Kiryakova (1983), Srivastava and Panda (1984),
Banerji and Chaudhary (1996), Saigo and Saxena (1998), Kilbas and
Saigo (1998), Chaurasia and Gupta (1999), Gupta et al. (1999), Chaurasia
and Godika (2001a, 2001b), Gutpa et al. (2002), Chaurasia and Srivastava
(2006, 2007b), Benchohra and Slimani (2009), Kilbas and Zhukovskaya
(2009), Jaimini and Saxena (2010), Haubold et al. (2011), Purohit and
Kalla (2011), Saxena et al. (2013), Kumar (2013) and Jaimini and Gupta
(2013) are worth mentioning.
A detailed account of theory and exposition of the fundamentals of
fractional calculus can be found in books by Oldham and Spanier (1974),
Nishimoto (1984, 1987, 1989, 1991), Saigo (1984), Samko et al. (1993)
and Miller and Ross (1993). Caputo (1969), in his book systematically
used his original definition of fractional differentiation for formulating and
solving problems of viscoelasticity .

1.2 FRACTIONAL INTEGRAL AND DIFFERENTIAL
OPERATORS:

Fractional integration is an immediate generalization of repeated
integration. If be a finite interval on the
(cid:1) = (cid:3)(cid:4),(cid:6)(cid:7) (−∞ <(cid:4) < (cid:6) < ∞)
real axis , then the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and
(cid:18) (cid:18)
ℝ (cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:17)(cid:19) (cid:15)(cid:20)(cid:21)(cid:19)
of order are defined by
(cid:22) ∈ ℂ ((cid:25)(cid:26)((cid:22)) > 0)

(cid:18) (cid:21)(cid:18) (cid:18)(cid:21)#

Γ((cid:22)) %

respectively. These integrals are called the left-sided and the right-sided
Riemann – Liouville fractional integrals and are convergent for a wide
class of functions . The limit may be real and complex. When
(cid:19) (cid:29) (cid:4) = 0
equation (1.2.1) is equivalent to Riemann’s definition, and when
(cid:4) = −∞
we have Liouville’s definition.

The Riemann – Liouville fractional derivatives and of
