A Novel Formulation of the Fractional Derivative with the Order α≥0 and without the Singular Kernel
Hassan Kamil Jassim, Mohammed A. Hussein
Abstract
A new definition of fractional derivative (NFD) with order α≥0, is developed in this paper. The new derivative has a smooth kernel that takes on two different representations for the temporal and spatial variables. The advantage of the proposed approach over traditional local theories and fractional models with a singular kernel lies in the possibility that there is a class of problems capable of describing scale-dependent fluctuations and material heterogeneities. Moreover, it has been shown that the NFD converges to the classical derivative faster than some other fractional derivatives.
