Weyl integral
In mathematics, the Weyl integral is an operator defined, as an example of fractional calculus, on functions f on the unit circle having integral 0 and a Fourier series. In other words there is a Fourier series for f of the form
with a0 = 0.
Then the Weyl integral operator of order s is defined on Fourier series by
where this is defined. Here s can take any real value, and for integer values k of s the series expansion is the expected k-th derivative, if k > 0, or th indefinite integral normalized by integration from θ = 0.
The condition a0 = 0 here plays the obvious role of excluding the need to consider division by zero. The definition is due to Hermann Weyl.
