Caputo q-Fractional Initial Value Problems and a q-Analogue Mittag-Leffler Function (1102.1444v1)

Abstract: Caputo q-fractional derivatives are introduced and studied. A Caputo -type q-fractional initial value problem is solved and its solution is expressed by means of a new introduced q-Mittag-Leffler function. Some open problems about q-fractional integrals are proposed as well.
