The two-dimensional fractional orthogonal derivative

Abstract: This paper is an edited and shortened version of Chapter 6 from the thesis of the author. First the one dimensional orthogonal derivative will be extended to the two-dimensional case. In the two-dimensional case we have to define the region of integration. In this paper we treat the integration over the square region and over the triangle region where in the last case we use biorthogonal polynomials expressed in terms of Appell functions. Next the two-dimensional orthogonal derivative will be extended to the two-dimensional fractional orthogonal derivative. The results are highly dependent on the $F_1$,\ $F_2$ and $F_3$ Appell functions.
