On adjoint operators for fractional differentiation operators
On a linear manifold of the space of square summable functions on a finite segment vanishing at its ends, we consider the operator of left-sided Caputo fractional differentiation. We prove that the adjoint for it is the operator of right-sided Caputo fractional differentiation. Similar results are established for the Riemann-Liouville fractional differentiation operators. We also demonstrate that the operator, which is represented as the sum of the left-sided and the right-sided fractional differentiation operators is self adjoint. The known properties of the Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives are used to substantiate the results.
