摘要
It is known that at least ten equivalent definitions of the fractional Laplacian exist in an unbounded domain. Here we derive a further equivalent definition that is based on the Mellin transform and it can be used when the fractional Laplacian is applied to radial functions. The main finding is tested in the case of the space-fractional diffusion equation. The one-dimensional case is also considered, such that the Mellin transform of the Riesz (namely the symmetric Riesz–Feller) fractional derivative is established. This one-dimensional result corrects an existing formula in literature. Further results for the Riesz fractional derivative are obtained when it is applied to symmetric functions, in particular its relation with the Caputo and the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives.
