Fourier Series in Fractional Dimensional Space

Abstract: In this paper, a Fourier series in fractional dimensional space is introduced for an arbitrarily periodic function $f(t;\alpha)$. We call it fractional Fourier series of the order $\alpha$. Extending the basis functions of the linear space into fractional one, by rotation transformation, we define a real and complex Fourier series and obtain their coefficients. It is also shown that the fractional derivative of a periodic function can be realized through (fractional) Fourier series with modified coefficients.
