      Hillarious FlyingGrandma You see this type of stuff very often in quantum physics. However, in other fields of physics, this would be irrelevant. You are safe as long as you do not study quantum.
      But also, it is not as scary as it looks. Once you get used to the definition, these types of derivatives become intuitive

      It can be thought of as an "interpolation" between the integer derivatives (and antiderivatives, if we consider the "-1th" derivative to be the indefinite integral). This is because Γ is a continuous function in most of its domain, so small variations in the order of derivation will result in small variations of the resulting functions.

    The Gamma function is more popular because mathematicians have the extremely bad habit of what seems to be intentionally defining non-normalized shifted versions of the actual function we would realistically work with. For example, it happens with the definition of sinc(z), so much that non-mathematicians just use a different definition altogether. The same goes with the Fresnel integrals. It goes for a ton of different functions.

  • @LilyKazami
    @LilyKazami 4 года назад +1

    OK, for general case, you have this d^n/dx^n (x^a), this makes sense.
    But - suppose that a is an positive integer, and n is a non-integer greater than a+1. Meaning that using standard derivations, you will eventually reach zero, leaving only a fractional derivative of zero, which is also zero.
    However, when looking at the factorial representations, you run into something a bit more interesting. a! is a finite positive number, (a-n)! is also a finite number, as it's a non-integer negative factorial, and a-n is a finite negative number. Let's call a!/(a-n)! k for the time being, and (a-n) can be b. kx^b is a standard function, and due to b being negative, kx^b can never be zero!
    Since these two interpretations directly contradict, one of them must be false. Or possibly both. Which, if any, is considered the correct way to resolve this bit of calculus?

    • @fghsgh
      @fghsgh 4 года назад +1

      How do you know that a fractional derivative of zero is always zero?
      Interestingly, when working with integer derivatives, you don't run into this issue, because that would give a!/(a-n)!, where a-n is a negative integer. This is, using the Gamma function, infinity. Dividing by infinity is zero, so there's your zero. But with this interpretation, I am lead to believe that a fractional derivative of zero doesn't necessarily have to be zero. This makes me think of the +c of negative derivatives (integrals), however in case of f(x)=0, c is always 0. Huh.
      EDIT: now that I think of it, when n is negative (resulting in an integral), there should be some c's in there. Or maybe this only gives the principal antiderivative? But that then assumes c=0, so that's another problem in the reasoning above.

    • @LilyKazami
      @LilyKazami 4 года назад

      @@fghsgh This is only on the assumption of successive derivations being equivalent to taking the fractional derivative as a whole, which may be wrong.
      But when we're getting to the point where we've done a derivatives, this is, with respect to x, a!*x^0. The next derivative on the stack, then, multiplies in the zero, rendering the whole equation to zero.
      Further normal derivatives can't get rid of the zero, of course.
      But since the fractional derivative is also giving finite numbers, that also can't get rid of zero.
      Though if you throw in a negative integer into the pi function, you get the necessary infinity, but once you hit the point of f(x)=0 that could be any arbitrary power. Singularities are silly like that.

      The Master Not if you define it via falling factorials. The falling factorial with negative exponent is well-defined, and is equal to a rising factorial.

    But whats the geometric interpretation of this derivative? First derivative is the slope of the curve, 2nd the slope of the slope. But whats a fractional or irrational derivative?

    Put n=-1 and you get the integral :)
    Edit: that's why the integral is the inverse operation of the derivative

    Is the way you extend the n-th derivative of x^m from natural to real numbers unique? One could think even of analytically continuation to complex numbers by considering this as a function of n and m. But therefore you need either, that n and m are accumulation points in some area of the complex plane (thats not the case for natural numbers), or that every derivative matches in one point. Is the latter true for this situation?

    I think the gamma function is more popular and stuff because of the gamma distribution in statistics. Having the gamma function inside the gamma distribution's probability density function's definition makes it nice and cute, but having pi inside gamma sounds weird :P

  • @beatleplayer1011
    @beatleplayer1011 4 года назад

    This is deeply connected to analytic continuation in complex analysis, so I don't see why the ith derivative wouldn't work but can't think of a formal proof or anything that it is indeed well-defined (i suppose we have to look at some dimensional regularization analysis and apply it to derivatives LOL)

      When I was in school I looked at using fourier transforms to do these types of strange derivatives and one that I came up with was using (1/w)^w which is d/dx omega times. I think I called it the frequency derivative

    • @angelmendez-rivera351
      @angelmendez-rivera351 4 года назад +1

      Ben Evans Fractional derivatives are much like fractional powers. For instance, D^(1/2)·D^(1/2)[f(x)] = f'(x). In words, the half derivative of the half derivative is the first derivative. It also allows you to talk about definite integrals as derivatives to a negative power.
      The applications I am familiar with come from quantum physics. It can be particularly useful in solving differential equations.
