Abstract
By observing that the fractional Caputo derivative of order α ∈ (0, 1) can be expressed in terms of a multiplicative convolution operator, we introduce and study a class of such operators which also have the same self-similarity property as the Caputo derivative. We proceed by identifying a subclass which is in bijection with the set of Bernstein functions and we provide several representations of their eigenfunctions, expressed in terms of the corresponding Bernstein function, that generalize the Mittag-Leffler function. Each eigenfunction turns out to be the Laplace transform of the right-inverse of a non-decreasing self-similar Markov process associated via the so-called Lamperti mapping to this Bernstein function. Resorting to spectral theoretical arguments, we investigate the generalized Cauchy problems, defined with these self-similar multiplicative convolution operators. In particular, we provide both a stochastic representation, expressed in terms of these inverse processes, and an explicit representation, given in terms of the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, of the solution of these self-similar Cauchy problems. This work could be seen as an-in depth analysis of a specific class, the one with the self-similarity property, of the general inverse of increasing Markov processes introduced in [15].
