A Study on Fractional Calculus and its Application in Electronics

Sridhar Pattanaik

Abstract

The capability of fractional calculus for tackling the problems of physics, signal processing, fluid mechanics, control engineering, etc. had made it a new mathematical tool for the solution of different problems in the field of science and engineering. Basically, it deals with operators having non-integer and/or complex order, e.g., fractional derivative and fractional integral. The concept has a tremendous potential to change the way we see, model, and control the nature around us. In this paper, the application of fractional calculus is discussed particularly for electronics.
