Prove if the fractional Laplacian of a function is bounded

Take $s\in (0, 1)$. I am trying to understand if $(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))$ is bounded, that is if there exists $R>0$ such that $|(-\Delta)^s (\log(1+x^2))|\le R$. Here $(-\Delta)^s$ is the ...

Question on possibility of uniquely defining the FRFT via certain properties

I was working around with the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) when the mathematics undergrad found out, by brute-force computations, that the derivative of the FRFT with respect to the parameter ...

Fourier transform of the fractional Poisson kernel

Recall that the extension of function from $u:\mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ can be defined using the Poisson Kernel as follows: $$u^{\mathrm{e}}(\mathbf{x}):=\gamma_{n} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} \frac{x_{n+...

Extension problem of fractional laplacian and Fourier transform of $L^1_\text{loc}$ function?

I have understand the proof oh the lemma 4.1.9 "SOME NONLOCAL OPERATORS AND EFFECTS DUE TO NONLOCALITY" by C.Bocur, there is a link. In this paper, we define, for $u\in L^1_\text{loc}(\...

What is the actual meaning of a fractional derivative?

We're all use to seeing differential operators of the form $\frac{d}{dx}^n$ where $n\in\mathbb{Z}$. But it has come to my attention that this generalises to all complex numbers, forming a field called ...
