Aug 15, 2023 at 17:54 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki Something like $(\Gamma(-p))^{-1} \int_0^\infty t^{-1-p} (u(t) - u(0) - u'(0)t - \ldots - u^{(k)}(0)t^k/k!) dt$, with $k = \lfloor p\rfloor$. This should be equivalent to the usual definition by $k$-fold integration by parts.
Aug 15, 2023 at 15:03 comment added Iosif Pinelis @MateuszKwaśnicki : Can you say what exactly you meant by " the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of $\ln|f_X|$ at zero"?
Aug 15, 2023 at 10:34 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki At $t=0$, $|f_X(t)|$ is as smooth as $f_X(t)$, I guess. But I did not take time to work out the details, so I may be missing something.
Aug 14, 2023 at 14:58 comment added Iosif Pinelis @MateuszKwaśnicki : Here may be a problem, though: Even if $f_X$ is smooth, $|f_X|$ does not have to differentiable even once.

Aug 13, 2023 at 20:15 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki And the same idea — evaluating the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative of $\ln|f_X|$ at zero — works for larger values of $p$ as long as $X$ has sufficiently many moments.
