  Fractional order integrator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fractional integrator is useful in fractional order control where the history of the system under control is important to the control system output.
To compute an integer order derivative, the weights in the summation would be zero, with the exception of the most recent data points, where (in the case of the first unit derivative) the weight of the data point at t-1 is -1 and the weight of the data point at t is 1.
An example fractional order integrator is a modification of the standard integrator circuit, where a capacitor is used as the feedback impedance on an opamp.

 Fractional calculus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Notice here that fraction is then a misnomer for the exponent, since it need not be rational, but the term fractional calculus has become traditional.
As far as the existence of such a theory is concerned, the foundations of the subject were laid by Liouville in a paper from 1832.
The fractional derivative of a function to order a is often now defined by means of the Fourier or Mellin integral transforms.

Fractional calculus is a part of mathematics dealing with generalisations of the derivative to derivatives of arbitrary order (not necessarily an integer).
The name "fractional calculus" is somewhat of a misnomer since the generalisations are by no means restricted to fractions, but the label persists for historical reasons.
The fractional derivative of a function to order a is often defined implicitly by the Fourier transform.

 Sobolev space - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A considerably stronger notion of smoothness is that of differentiability (because functions that are differentiable are also continuous) and a yet stronger notion of smoothness is that the derivative also be continuous (these functions are said to be C
Differentiable functions are important in many areas, and in particular for differential equations.
In such problems, there is some data (such as today's weather, or the shape and water distribution of the food in the microwave oven) and there is a prediction (such as tomorrow's weather, or the time required to cook the food in the microwave.) In some cases, it is difficult to do an accurate simulation.

 Applications of Fractional Calculus
Fractional calculus concerns the generalization of differentiation and integration to non-integer (fractional) orders.
Although fractional calculus is a natural generalization of calculus, and although its mathematical history is equally long, it has, until recently, played a negligible role in physics.
Many applications of fractional calculus amount to replacing the time derivative in an evolution equation with a derivative of fractional order.

 Magmatic Differentiation
If olivine fractionation were the process responsible for the change from magma A to magma B, then these proportions would have to be the same on all other variation diagrams as well.
In order for crystal fractionation to operate their must be a natural mechanism that can remove crystals from the magma or at least separate the crystals so that they can no longer react with the liquid.
In order to assimilate the country rock enough heat must be provided to first raise the country rock to its solidus temperature where it will begin to melt and then further heat must be added to change from the solid state to the liquid state.

The order of its differentiation is - n, where represents the order of the Universe in its entirety, and n the order of that holon on the integrarchic scale.
The higher the order, the higher is the number of the groups of the variable components, and the greater is the complexity, stability and also the freedom and diversity of the holon.
Differentiation, that is, evolution of new sub-types does not come about by random chance, but by intelligent self-design, where the more evolved type has the better means for further development: his brains.

 Differentiation (from analysis) --  Encyclopædia Britannica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Differentiation is about rates of change; for geometric curves and figures this means determining the slope, or tangent, along a given direction.
In contrast to the abstract nature of the theory behind it, the practical technique of differentiation can be carried out by purely algebraic manipulations, using three basic derivatives, four rules of operation, and a knowledge of how to manipulate functions.
Its historical origins are in attempts to calculate such spatial quantities as the length of a curved line and the area enclosed by a curve.

 Magmatic Differentiation
As we might expect, elements that are excluded from crystals during fractionation should have their concentrations increase in the fractionated magmas.
The concentration of incompatible trace elements should thus increase with increasing crystal fractionation, and the concentration of compatible trace elements should decrease with fractionation.
Note that the REE patterns produced by higher percentages of crystal fractionation show higher concentrations, yet the patterns remain nearly parallel to one another.

Okay, we know that in order to get the second derivative we need the first derivative and in order to get that we’ll need to do implicit differentiation.  Here is the work for that.
There is some alternate notation for higher order derivatives as well.  Recall that there was a fractional notation for the first derivative.

 [No title]
This is the topic of Fractional Order Derivatives (or Integrals), aka Fractional Calculus, and was studied by a bunch of mathematicians in early 1900s and late 1800s, including Riemann and a whole bunch of big names my brain's too dusty and rusty to recall.
Even sticking with the gamma, it turns out that fractional order derivatives have a kind of looseness - the operator used in the electrochemistry paper, and seen elsewhere, is not the one you and I are playing with.
I think the title was "The fractional Calculus", and I remember it had the style of Academic Press.

Their most astonishing feature (in reference to the Strang--Fix theory) is that they have a fractional order of approximation $\alpha+1$ while they reproduce the polynomials of degree $\lceil\alpha\rceil$.
