Construction and Physical Application Of The Fractional Calculus
This book covers the following topics about
Fractional Calculus: Elementary preliminaries, Grunwald’s construction, The
Riemann-Liouville construction, Abel’s solution of the tautochrone problem,
Heaviside’s solution of the diffusion equation, Application to the differention
of fractal curves, Charge density on a needle, Eigenfunctions of derivative
operators of integral/fractional order, Applications to analysis.

This note covers the following topics:
Introduction To Fractional Calculus, Fractional Integral Equations, Fractional
Differential Equations and The Mittag-leffler Type Functions.
The first chapter explains definition of fractional
calculus. The second and third chapters, look at the Riemann-Liouville
definitions of the fractional integral and derivative. The fourth chapter looks
at some fractional differential equations with an emphasis on the Laplace
transform of the fractional integral and derivative. The last chapter describes
application problems—a mortgage problem and a decay-growth problem.
