I additio, we show that RZ Dx s ux) is cotiuous at the ed poits ad well defied for s = + k. Furthermore, we exted the geeralized Riesz derivative RZ Dx s ux) to the space C k R ), where k is a -tuple of oegative itegers, based o the ormalizatio of distributio ad surface itegrals over the uit sphere. Fially, several examples are preseted to demostrate computatios for obtaiig the geeralized Riesz derivatives. Keywords: Riesz derivative; fractioal Laplacia; ormalizatio; distributio; Gamma fuctio. Itroductio Durig the past few decades, fractioal calculus 4 has bee a emerget tool which uses fractioal differetial ad itegral equatios to develop more sophisticated mathematical models that ca accurately describe complex systems. Fractioal powers of the Laplacia operator arise aturally i the stu of partial differetial equatios related to aomalous diffusio, where the fractioal operator plays a similar role to that of the iteger-order Laplacia for ordiary diffusio 5,6. By replacig Browia motio of particles with Lévy flights 7, oe obtais a fractioal diffusio equatio i terms of the fractioal Laplacia operator 8 of order s, ) via the Cauchy pricipal value P.V. for short) itegral 9, give as ) s ux) = C,s P.V. where = / x + + / x, ad the costat C,s is give by ) cos y C,s = R y +s = π / ux) uζ) dζ, ) R x ζ +s +s s Γ ) s. ) Γ s) Let x = x, x,, x ) R. For a give -tuple α = α, α,, α ) of oegative itegers or called a multi-idex), we defie α = α + α + + α, α! = α!α! α! x α = x α xα xα, α u = α α α u = x α xα α u. xα The Schwartz space SR ) space of rapidly decreasig fuctios o R ) is the fuctio space defied as SR ) = { ux) C R ) : ux) α,k C α,k cost) α, k N }, Mathematics, 8, 89; doi:.339/math8789

It is well kow that the Riesz derivative plays a importat role i aomalous diffusio 3 5 ad space of fractioal quatum mechaics. For example, the Riesz derivative satisfies the fractioal diffusio equatio, which has lots of physical applicatios 3: P L x, t; α) t σ α RZ D α x P L x, t; α) =,

There are also may studies, icludig umerical aalysis 6 9, scietific computig ad Fourier trasform methods,, o differetial equatios ivolvig the Riesz derivative with applicatios i several fields, icludig mathematical physics ad egieerig. It is widely cosidered that the Riesz derivative is equivalet to the fractioal Laplacia i arbitrary dimesios 4. Cai ad Li 5 showed that for s, ) ) s ux) = RZ Dx s ux), ux) SR) ad s = /, ) s ux) = RZ Dx s ux), ux) SR ) with >. Furthermore, o page 5 ad 6 i the same referece they stated i) for the case with α = 3, 5,, the Riesz derivative of the give fuctio ux) x R) ca be defied i the form ) RZDxux) α = α αγ +α ux + y) ux) + ux y) π Γ α ) y +α, which is suitable for positive values of α =, 4, 6,. ii) For k =,,.

We would like to recosider cases i) ad ii) i this paper as the itegrals o the right-had side do ot exist eve for a sufficietly good fuctio ux) SR). Ideed, by Taylor s expasio ux + y) ux) + ux y) = u x + θy) + u x θy) y u x)y as y +! where θ, ). This clearly makes all the itegrals o the right-had side diverget ear the origi. As outlied i the abstract, we establish a itegral represetatio for the geeralized Riesz derivative RZ Dx s ux) for k < s < k + with k =,,, as a liearly cotiuous mappig from the ormed space W k+ R) to the Baach space CR). The we stu the geeralized Riesz derivative i arbitrary dimesios ad further show that RZ Dx s ux) is cotiuous at the ed poits based o the ormalizatio of distributio ad the surface itegrals. I particular, the derivative RZ Dx s ux) is well defied for all s = k +, which exteds Defiitio.. The Geeralized Riesz Derivative o R Let CR) be the space of cotiuous fuctios o R give as CR) = {ux) : ux) is cotiuous o R ad u < } where u = sup ux). x R

5 Mathematics, 8, 89 5 of Clearly, CR) is a Baach space. The followig space will play a importat role i defiig the geeralized Riesz derivative o R. Let k =,,. We defie the ormed space W k R) as where Clearly, ux) = W k R) = u k = max { } ux) : u k) x) is cotiuous o R ad u k < { sup x R xux), sup x R x x + W kr) but ux) = } xu x), sup x + )u k) x). x x + x R / SR), ad SR) W k R) C k R) CR) for all k =,,. We are rea to prove the followig theorem which establishes a iitial equivalece betwee the Riesz derivative ad the fractioal Laplacia o the space W R). Theorem 3. Let u W R).

Note that the above itegral is well defied for ux) W R). Ideed, a secod order Taylor expasio ifers ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s sup y R u y) y s.

Furthermore, ux) W R) implies that there exists a costat C > such that y + )u y) C as y. as This idicates that the itegral is absolutely itegrable at ifiity. I summary, ) s ux) = C,s R = C,s ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s, ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s is a eve fuctio with respect to y. Assume < s < /. Itegratio by parts yields ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s = ux + y) ux) + ux y) s y s + y= s = d ux + y) s dx y s d ux y) s dx y s by applyig the facts that all four itegrals ux + y) y s, ux y) y s, ad u x + y) y s are uiformly coverget with respect to x usig the coditios are bouded.

Remark. ux) ux y) y s ux) = RZ D s x ux). ux + y) ux) + ux y) y ux + y) ux) + ux y) y, a) Usig the formula Γz)Γ z + ) = π z Γz) for z =,,,, we have for u W R) that RZDx s ux) = ) s si πs ux) = Γ + s) π ux + y) ux) + ux y) y +s b) for < s <. This expressio has symbolically appeared i several existig literatures, such as Refereces 3,,4, for a suitable smooth fuctio ux). Cai ad Li preseted Theorem 3 i Referece 5 uder the coditios that ux) SR) which is a proper subspace of W R), ad s, ) with s = /. I order to stu the geeralized Riesz derivative, we briefly itroduce the followig basic cocepts i distributio ad the ormalizatio of x+ λ. Let DR) be the Schwartz space 7 of ifiitely differetiable fuctios or so-called the Schwartz space of testig fuctios) with compact support i R, ad D R) be the space of distributios liearly cotiuous fuctioals) defied o DR). Furthermore, we shall defie a sequece φ x), φ x),, φ m x), which coverges to zero i DR) if all these fuctios vaish outside a certai fixed ad bouded smooth set i R ad coverge uiformly to zero i the usual sese) together with their derivatives of ay order. We further assume that D R + ) is the subspace of D R) with support cotaied i R +. The fuctioal δ is defied as δ, φ) = φ), where φ DR). Clearly, δ is a liear ad cotiuous fuctioal o DR), ad hece δ D R).

The distributio x+ λ o DR) is ormalized i Referece 7 as: x λ +, φx)) = x λ φx) φ) xφ ) xm m )! φm ) ) dx, 5) where m < λ < m m N) ad φ DR). Let τx) be a ifiitely differetiable fuctio o, +) R satisfyig the followig coditios: i) τx), ii) τx) = if x /, iii) τx) = if x. Let r = x + x + + x. We costruct the sequece I m r) for m =,, as: if r m, I m r) = m m ) τ + m +m r mm+ + m +m if r > m. Clearly, I m r) is ifiitely differetiable with respect to x, x,, x ad r, ad I m r) = if r m + m m, as m m + m +m m + m m ) mm+ =. + m+m Furthermore, I m r). Applyig Equatio 5) ad the idetity sequece I m r) for m =,,, Li established Theorems ad outlied i the itroductio. Based o Theorems ad 3, the geeralized Riesz derivative o R is well defied, for k < s < k + with k =,,,, as RZDx s ux) = C,s y s Sy) u ) x)y yk k)! uk) x), where ux) W k+ R), ad Sy) = ux + y) ux) + ux y). The followig theorem is to costruct a relatioship betwee the ormed space W k+ R) ad the Baach space CR) by the geeralized Riesz derivative. Theorem 4. Let k < s < k + with k =,,,.

9 Mathematics, 8, 89 9 of Proof of Theorem 4. From the above itegral expressio, the geeralized Riesz derivative RZ Dx s is a liear mappig o the space W k+ R). Let u m x) W k+ R) ad u m x) i W k+ R).
