Abstract

The concept of fractional order derivative can be found in extensive range of many different subject areas. For this reason, the concept of fractional order derivative should be examined. After giving different methods mostly used in engineering and scientific applications, the omissions or errors of these methods will be discussed in this study. The mostly used methods are Euler, Riemann-Liouville and Caputo which are fractional order derivatives. The applications of these methods to constant and identity functions will be given in this study. Obtained results demonstrated that all of three methods have errors and deficiencies. In fact, the obtained results demonstrated that the methods given as fractional order derivatives are curve fitting methods or curve approximation methods. In this paper, we redefined fractional order derivative (FOD) by using classical derivative definition and L Hospital method, since classical derivative definition concluded in indefinite limit such as 0/0. The obtained definition is same as classical derivative definition in case of fractional order is equal to 1. This implies that definitions and theorems in this paper sound and complete. After defining the FOD concept, the applications of FOD for polynomial, exponential, trigonometric and logarithmic functions were handled in this study. The properties of FOD for positive monotonic increasing/decreasing functions were demonstrated in this paper. Another important point is that the relation between derivatives and complex functions were also verified in this paper.

Average Chord Lengths in a Triangle

Let $P$ be a point inside a triangle $T$. We consider the average length of the chords of $T$ through $P$, where the direction of the chord is chosen uniformly. An elementary formula is obtained in terms of the distances from $P$ to the sides and vertices of the triangle. Several classical triangle centers give especially simple specializations. For example, if $I$ is the incenter, then \[ M_T(I)=\frac{2r}{\pi} \log\left(\cot\frac A4\cot\frac B4\cot\frac C4\right). \] Our main result is the sharp inequality \[ M_T(P)\le \frac{p}{\pi\sqrt3}\log(2+\sqrt3), \] valid simultaneously for every triangle of perimeter $p$ and every interior point $P$. Thus, among all such pairs $(T,P)$, the largest possible average chord length occurs only when $T$ is equilateral and $P$ is its center. The proof is an elementary symmetrization argument. We close with brief remarks relating the problem to the radial center of a convex body, the electrostatic potential center of a triangle, and dual quermassintegrals.

A Proof of Liu's Conjecture on the Fundamental Triangle Inequality

Let $a,b,c$ be the side lengths of a triangle, and let $R$ and $r$ denote its circumradius and inradius, respectively. We prove a conjecture of Liu stating that \[\sum_{\mathrm{cyc}} \left(\frac{a(b+c-a)}{bc}\right)^k \geq 2+\left(\frac{2r}{R}\right)^k,~~k>1, \] with the reverse inequality for $0<k<1$. The proof reduces the problem to three positive variables with fixed sum and product. We also determine the equality cases.
