Abstract:
We investigate the 1D Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative focusing on the connections with fractional Sobolev spaces, the space $BV$ of functions of bounded variation, whose derivatives are not functions but measures and the space $SBV$, say the space of bounded variation functions whose derivative has no Cantor part. We prove that $SBV$ is included in $W^{s,1} $ for every $s \in (0,1)$ while the result remains open for $BV$. We study examples and address open questions.
Keywords: Sobolev spaces, fractional calculus, bounded variation functions, Riemann-Liouville derivative, Marchaud derivative
