Fractional calculus extends the classical notions of differentiation and integration to non-integer orders, offering an adaptable framework that is particularly well suited to modelling anomalous ...

The paper deals with the computation of functions of fractional powers of differential operators. The spectral properties of these operators naturally suggest the use of rational approximations. In ...

The goal of this study was to describe fraction-calculation errors among fourth-grade students and to determine whether error patterns differed as a function of ...
