Özet

We investigate and compare different representations of the Riesz derivative, which plays an important role in anomalous diffusion and space fractional quantum mechanics. In particular, we show that a certain representation of the Riesz derivative, Rax, that is generally given as also valid for alpha = 1, behaves no differently than the other definition given in terms of its Fourier transform. In the light of this, we discuss the alpha -> 1 limit of the space fractional quantum mechanics and its consistency. Published by AIP Publishing.
