Grünwald–Letnikov Derivative
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. Constructing the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative The formula :f'(x) = \lim_ \frac for the derivative can be applied recursively to get higher-order derivatives. For example, the second-order derivative would be: :\beginf''(x)&=\lim_\frac\\&=\lim_\frac\end Assuming that the ''h'' 's converge synchronously, this simplifies to: : = \lim_ \frac which can be justified rigorously by the mean value theorem. In general, we have (see binomial coefficient In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers and is writte ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

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. The tangent line is the best linear approximation of the function near that input value. For this reason, the derivative is often described as the instantaneous rate of change, the ratio of the instantaneous change in the dependent variable to that of the independent variable. The process of finding a derivative is called differentiation. There are multiple different notations for differentiation. '' Leibniz notation'', named after Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, is represented as the ratio of two differentials, whereas ''prime notation'' is written by adding a prime mark. Higher order notations represent repeated differentiation, and they are usually denoted in Leib ...

Fractional Calculus
Fractional calculus is a branch of mathematical analysis that studies the several different possibilities of defining real number powers or complex number powers of the differentiation operator D D f(x) = \frac f(x)\,, and of the integration operator J The symbol J is commonly used instead of the intuitive I in order to avoid confusion with other concepts identified by similar glyphs, such as identities. J f(x) = \int_0^x f(s) \,ds\,, and developing a calculus for such operators generalizing the classical one. In this context, the term ''powers'' refers to iterative application of a linear operator D to a function that is, repeatedly composing D with itself, as in \begin D^n(f) &= (\underbrace_n)(f) \\ &= \underbrace_n (f)\cdots))). \end For example, one may ask for a meaningful interpretation of \sqrt = D^ as an analogue of the functional square root for the differentiation operator, that is, an expression for some linear operator that, when applied to any f ...

Aleksey Letnikov
Aleksey Vasilyevich Letnikov (, 1837–1888) was a Russian mathematician. After graduating from the Konstantinovsky Land-Surveying Institute () in Moscow, Letnikov attended classes at Moscow University and the Sorbonne. In 1860 he became an Instructor of Mathematics at the Konstantinovsky Institute. He obtained the degrees of Master and Ph.D. from Moscow University in 1868 and 1874 respectively. In 1868 Letnikov became a professor at the Imperial Moscow Technical School and from 1879 to 1880 was an Inspector at the school. From 1883 he was the principal of the Aleksandrov Commercial School (, currently The State University of Managementbr>and from 1884 he was a Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His most renowned contribution to mathematics was the creation of the Grünwald–Letnikov derivative. He also published results in the fields of analytic geometry, ordinary differential equations, and non-Euclidean geometry. Letnikov died in Moscow in 1888 an ...

Mean Value Theorem
In mathematics, the mean value theorem (or Lagrange's mean value theorem) states, roughly, that for a given planar arc (geometry), arc between two endpoints, there is at least one point at which the tangent to the arc is parallel to the secant line, secant through its endpoints. It is one of the most important results in real analysis. This theorem is used to prove statements about a function on an interval (mathematics), interval starting from local hypotheses about derivatives at points of the interval. History A special case of this theorem for inverse interpolation of the sine was first described by Parameshvara (1380–1460), from the Kerala School of Astronomy and Mathematics in India, in his commentaries on Govindasvāmi and Bhāskara II. A restricted form of the theorem was proved by Michel Rolle in 1691; the result was what is now known as Rolle's theorem, and was proved only for polynomials, without the techniques of calculus. The mean value theorem in its modern for ...

Binomial Coefficient
In mathematics, the binomial coefficients are the positive integers that occur as coefficients in the binomial theorem. Commonly, a binomial coefficient is indexed by a pair of integers and is written \tbinom. It is the coefficient of the term in the polynomial expansion of the binomial power ; this coefficient can be computed by the multiplicative formula : \binom nk = \frac, which using factorial notation can be compactly expressed as : \binom = \frac. For example, the fourth power of is : \begin (1 + x)^4 &= \tbinom x^0 + \tbinom x^1 + \tbinom x^2 + \tbinom x^3 + \tbinom x^4 \\ &= 1 + 4x + 6 x^2 + 4x^3 + x^4, \end and the binomial coefficient \tbinom =\tfrac = \tfrac = 6 is the coefficient of the term. Arranging the numbers \tbinom, \tbinom, \ldots, \tbinom in successive rows for gives a triangular array called Pascal's triangle, satisfying the recurrence relation : \binom = \binom + \binom . The binomial coefficients occur in many areas of mathematics, and espe ...
