Abstract This paper deals with the fractional calculus of zeta functions. In particular, the study is focused on the Hurwitz ζ \zeta function. All the results are based on the complex generalization of the Grünwald-Letnikov fractional derivative. We state and prove the functional equation together with an integral representation by Bernoulli numbers. Moreover, we treat an application in terms of Shannon entropy.

This paper investigates a new special function referred to as the error zeta function. Derived as a fractional generalization of hypergeometric zeta functions, the error zeta function is shown to exhibit many properties analogous to its hypergeometric counterpart, including its intimate connection to Bernoulli numbers. These new properties are treated in detail and used to demonstrate a pre-functional equation satisfied by this special function.

This paper investigates a new family of special functions referred to as hypergeometric zeta functions. Derived from the integral representation of the classical Riemann zeta function, hypergeometric zeta functions exhibit many properties analogous to their classical counterpart, including the intimate connection to Bernoulli numbers. These new properties are treated in detail and are used to demonstrate a functional inequality satisfied by second-order hypergeometric zeta functions.

AbstractIn this short note we present a new general definition of local fractional derivative, that depends on an unknown kernel. For some appropriate choices of the kernel we obtain some known cases. We establish a relation between this new concept and ordinary differentiation. Using such formula, most of the fundamental properties of the fractional derivative can be derived directly.

In this paper, the half-life values of spherical proton emitters such as Sb , Tm , Lu , Ta , Re , Ir , Au , Tl and Bi have been calculated within the framework of fractional calculus. Nuclear decay equation, related to this phenomenon, has been resolved by using Caputo fractional derivative. The order of fractional derivative μ being considered is 0 < μ ≤ 1, and characterizes the fractality of time. Half-life values have been calculated equivalent with empirical ones. The dependence of fractional derivative order μ on the nuclear structure has also been investigated.

Abstract This paper proposes a conceptual experiment embedding the model of a bouncing ball and the Grünwald-Letnikov (GL) formulation for derivative of fractional order. The impacts of the ball with the surface are modeled by means of a restitution coefficient related to the coefficients of the GL fractional derivative. The results are straightforward to interpret under the light of the classical physics. The mechanical experiment leads to a physical perspective and allows a straightforward visualization. This strategy provides not only a motivational introduction to students of the fractional calculus, but also triggers possible discussion with regard to the use of fractional models in mechanics.

The forest new gap models via local fractional calculus are investigated. The JABOWA and FORSKA models are extended to deal with the growth of individual trees defined on Cantor sets. The local fractional growth equations with local fractional derivative and difference are discussed. Our results are first attempted to show the key roles for the nondifferentiable growth of individual trees.

In this article, we establish some new difference equations for the family of λ-generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta functions. These difference equations proved worthwhile to study these newly defined functions in terms of simpler functions. Several authors investigated such functions and their analytic properties, but no work has been reported for an estimation of their values. We perform some numerical computations to evaluate these functions for different values of the involved parameters. It is shown that the direct evaluation of involved integrals is not possible for the large values of parameter s; nevertheless, using our new difference equations, we can evaluate these functions for the large values of s. It is worth mentioning that for the small values of this parameter, our results are 100% accurate with the directly computed results using their integral representation. Difference equations so obtained are also useful for the computation of some new integrals of products of λ-generalized Hurwitz–Lerch zeta functions and verified to be consistent with the existing results. A derivative property of Mellin transforms proved fundamental to present this investigation.
