Abstract

One proposes an approach to fractional Fourier's transform, or Fourier's transform of fractional order, which applies to functions which are fractional differentiable but are not necessarily differentiable, in such a manner that they cannot be analyzed by using the so-called Caputo-Djrbashian fractional derivative. Firstly, as a preliminary, one defines fractional sine and cosine functions, therefore one obtains Fourier's series of fractional order. Then one defines the fractional Fourier's transform. The main properties of this fractal transformation are exhibited, the Parseval equation is obtained as well as the fractional Fourier inversion theorem. The prospect of application for this new tool is the spectral density analysis of signals, in signal processing, and the analysis of some partial differential equations of fractional order.
