    Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the several different possibilities of defining real number powers or complex number powers of ...

  3. Fractal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal

    Fractal geometry lies within the mathematical branch of measure theory. One way that fractals are different from finite geometric figures is how they scale . Doubling the edge lengths of a filled polygon multiplies its area by four, which is two (the ratio of the new to the old side length) raised to the power of two (the conventional dimension ...

  4. Fractal derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_derivative

    In applied mathematics and mathematical analysis, the fractal derivative or Hausdorff derivative is a non-Newtonian generalization of the derivative dealing with the measurement of fractals, defined in fractal geometry. Fractal derivatives were created for the study of anomalous diffusion, by which traditional approaches fail to factor in the ...

  5. Generalizations of the derivative - Wikipedia

    In geometric calculus, the geometric derivative satisfies a weaker form of the Leibniz (product) rule. It specializes the Fréchet derivative to the objects of geometric algebra. Geometric calculus is a powerful formalism that has been shown to encompass the similar frameworks of differential forms and differential geometry. [1]

  7. Grünwald–Letnikov derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grünwald–Letnikov...

    In mathematics, the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative is a basic extension of the derivative in fractional calculus that allows one to take the derivative a non-integer number of times. It was introduced by Anton Karl Grünwald (1838–1920) from Prague , in 1867, and by Aleksey Vasilievich Letnikov (1837–1888) in Moscow in 1868.

  8. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    In mathematics, the derivative is a fundamental tool that quantifies the sensitivity to change of a function's output with respect to its input. The derivative of a function of a single variable at a chosen input value, when it exists, is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at that point.

  9. Differential of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_of_a_function

    In calculus, the differential represents the principal part of the change in a function = with respect to changes in the independent variable. The differential is defined by = ′ (), where ′ is the derivative of f with respect to , and is an additional real variable (so that is a function of and ).
