We generalize the classical mean value theorem of differential calculus by allowing the use of a Caputo-type fractional derivative instead of the commonly used first-order derivative. Similarly, we generalize the classical mean value theorem for integrals by allowing the corresponding fractional integral, viz. the Riemann-Liouville operator, instead of a classical (first-order) integral. As an application of the former result we then prove a uniqueness theorem for initial value problems involving Caputo-type fractional differential operators. This theorem generalizes the classical Nagumo theorem for first-order differential equations.

The aim of this note is to characterize all pairs of sufficiently smooth functions for which the mean value in the Cauchy Mean Value Theorem is taken at a point which has a well-determined position in the interval. As an application of this result, a partial answer is given to a question posed by Sahoo and Riedel.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a system of linear inhomogeneous fractional differential equations to have at least one bounded solution. We also obtain an explicit description for the set of all bounded (or decay) solutions for these systems.
Many different types of fractional calculus have been defined, which may be categorised into broad classes according to their properties and behaviours. Two types that have been much studied in the literature are the Hadamard-type fractional calculus and tempered fractional calculus. This paper establishes a connection between these two definitions, writing one in terms of the other by making use of the theory of fractional calculus with respect to functions. By extending this connection in a natural way, a generalisation is developed which unifies several existing fractional operators: Riemann--Liouville, Caputo, classical Hadamard, Hadamard-type, tempered, and all of these taken with respect to functions. The fundamental calculus of these generalised operators is established, including semigroup and reciprocal properties as well as application to some example functions. Function spaces are constructed in which the new operators are defined and bounded. Finally, some formulae are derived for fractional integration by parts with these operators.
We consider the Cauchy problem $(mathbb D_{(k)} u)(t)=lambda u(t)$, $u(0)=1$, where $mathbb D_{(k)}$ is the general convolutional derivative introduced in the paper (A. N. Kochubei, Integral Equations Oper. Theory {bf 71} (2011), 583--600), $lambda >0$. The solution is a generalization of the function $tmapsto E_alpha (lambda t^alpha)$ where $0<alpha <1$, $E_alpha$ is the Mittag-Leffler function. The asymptotics of this solution, as $tto infty$, is studied.
Several approaches to the formulation of a fractional theory of calculus of variable order have appeared in the literature over the years. Unfortunately, most of these proposals lack a rigorous mathematical framework. We consider an alternative view on the problem, originally proposed by G. Scarpi in the early seventies, based on a naive modification of the representation in the Laplace domain of standard kernels functions involved in (constant-order) fractional calculus. We frame Scarpis ideas within recent theory of General Fractional Derivatives and Integrals, that mostly rely on the Sonine condition, and investigate the main properties of the emerging variable-order operators. Then, taking advantage of powerful and easy-to-use numerical methods for the inversion of Laplace transforms of functions defined in the Laplace domain, we discuss some practical applications of the variable-order Scarpi integral and derivative.
