TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new definition of fractional derivative with a smooth kernel, which takes on two different representations for the temporal and spatial variable, for which it is more convenient to work with the Fourier transform.
Abstract: In the paper, we present a new definition of fractional deriva tive with a smooth kernel which takes on two different representations for the temporal and spatial variable. The first works on the time variables; thus it is suitable to use th e Laplace transform. The second definition is related to the spatial va riables, by a non-local fractional derivative, for which it is more convenient to work with the Fourier transform. The interest for this new approach with a regular kernel was born from the prospect that there is a class of non-local systems, which have the ability to descri be the material heterogeneities and the fluctuations of diff erent scales, which cannot be well described by classical local theories or by fractional models with singular kernel.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a new fractional derivative which generalizes the familiar Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard fractional derivatives to a single form.
Abstract: The author (Appl. Math. Comput. 218:860-865, 2011) introduced a new fractional integral operator given by, � I � a+f � (x) = � 1 � which generalizes the well-known Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard fractional integrals. In this paper we present a new fractional derivative which generalizes the familiar Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard fractional derivatives to a single form. We also obtain two representations of the generalized derivative in question. An example is given to illustrate the results.
