Te main aim in this paper is to use all the possible arrangements of objects such that
1
of them are equal to 1 and
2
(the others)
of them are equal to 2, in order to generalize the defnitions of Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional derivatives (about order
0<<) for a fuzzy-valued function. Also, we fnd fuzzy Laplace transforms for Riemann-Liouville and Caputo fractional
derivatives about the general fractional order −1<< under H-diferentiability. Some fuzzy fractional initial value problems
(FFIVPs) are solved using the above two generalizations.
1. Introduction
Fuzzy Fractional Diferential Equations (FFDEs) can ofer a
more comprehensive account of the process or phenomenon.
Tis has recently captured much attention in FFDEs. As the
derivative of a function is defned in the sense of Riemann-
Liouville, Gr¨ unwald-Letnikov, or Caputo in fractional calcu-
lus, the used derivative is to be specifed and defned in FFDEs
as well [1].
Many researchers have worked on the feld of Fuzzy
Fractional Diferential Equations (FFDEs); for example,
Salahshour et al. [2] dealt with the solutions of FFDEs under
Riemann-Liouville H-diferentiability by fuzzy Laplace trans-
forms; Mazandarani and Kamyad [1] presented the solution
to FFIVP under Caputo-type fuzzy fractional derivatives by
a modifed fractional Euler method; Wu and Baleanu [3]
proposed a novel modifcation of the variational iteration
method (VIM) by means of the Laplace transform; they
extended the method successfully to fractional diferen-
tial equations; Ahmadian et al. [4] reveal a computational
method based on using a Tau method with Jacobi polyno-
mials for the solution of fuzzy linear fractional diferential
equations of order 0< V <1, and Allahviranloo et al. [5]
introduced the fuzzy Caputo fractional diferential equations
under the generalized Hukuhara diferentiability.
Tis paper is arranged as follows. Basic concepts are
given in Section 2. In Section 3, the general formula of
the fuzzy Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and the
general formula of Laplace transforms of the fuzzy Riemann-
Liouville fractional derivatives for a fuzzy-valued function
are found. In Section 4, the general formula of the fuzzy
Caputo fractional derivatives and the general formula of
Laplace transforms of the fuzzy Caputo fractional derivatives
for a fuzzy-valued function are found. In Section 5, conclu-
sions are drawn.
2. Basic Concepts
In this section, we give the basic concepts which are needed
in the next sections. We denote
[,] as the space of all
continuous fuzzy-valued functions on [,]. Also, we denote
the space of all Lebesgue integrable fuzzy-valued functions on
the bounded interval [,]⊂ R by
[,].
Teorem 1 (see [6]). Let be a positive integer. Let
−1
be continuous on = [0,∞); is the class of piecewise
continuous functions on
= (0,∞) and integrable on any
fnite subinterval of = [0, ∞) and let > 0. Ten, one fnds
