In many recent works, several authors demonstrated the usefulness of fractional calculus operators in the derivation of (explicit) particular solutions of a significantly large number of linear ordinary and partial differential equations of the second and higher orders. The main object of the present paper is to show how this simple fractional-calculus approach to the solutions of the classical Bessel differential equation of general order would lead naturally to several interesting consequences which include (for example) an alternative investigation of the power-series solutions obtainable usually by the Frobenius method. The methodology presented here is based largely upon some of the general theorems on (explicit) particular solutions of a certain family of linear ordinary fractional differintegral equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
