Sequential generalized Riemann–Liouville derivatives based on distributional convolution

Abstract

Abstract Sequential generalized fractional Riemann–Liouville derivatives are introduced as composites of distributional derivatives on the right half axis and partially defined operators, called Dirac-function removers, that remove the component of singleton support at the origin of distributions that are of order zero on a neighborhood of the origin. The concept of Dirac-function removers allows to formulate generalized initial value problems with less restrictions on the orders and types than previous approaches to sequential fractional derivatives. The well-posedness of these initial value problems and the structure of their solutions are studied.
