A distributional theory of fractional calculus. (English) Zbl 0567.46015

A theory of fractional powers of operators is used to define arbitrary powers of some simple differential and integral operators on certain spaces of generalized functions. These powers are shown to coincide with distributional versions of the Riemann-Liouville and Weyl operators of fractional calculus. Standard results associated with fractional integration and differentiation are then deduced from corresponding results on fractional powers.
