Zeros of Fractional Derivatives of Polynomials
We consider the polynomial p(x)=(x+1)(x-2-i)(x-3-i)(x-1-i) over the complex numbers. We have deg p′(x) = deg p(x)−1 = 4-1 = 3. The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra asserts that the same reduction occurs for the total number of zeros of the polynomials. When we consider the fractional derivatives the following questions arise:… Continue reading…
