A New Conformable Fractional Derivative and Applications

This paper is motivated by some papers treating the fractional derivatives. We introduce a new definition of fractional derivative which obeys classical properties including linearity, product rule, quotient rule, power rule, chain rule, Rolle’s theorem, and the mean value theorem. The definition D α f t = lim h ⟶ 0 f t + h e α − 1 t − f t / h , for all t > 0 , and α ∈ 0,1 . If α = 0 , this definition coincides to the classical definition of the first order of the function f .
