Fractalization of Fractional Integral and Composition of Fractal Splines

Abstract

The present study perturbs the fractional integral of a continuous function $f$ defined on a real compact interval, say $(\mathcal{I}^vf)$ using a family of fractal functions $(\mathcal{I}^vf)^\alpha$ based on the scaling parameter $\alpha$. To elicit this phenomenon, a fractal operator is proposed in the space of continuous functions, an analogue to the existing fractal interpolation operator which perturbs $f$ giving rise to $\alpha$-fractal function $f^\alpha$. In addition, the composition of $\alpha$-fractal function with the linear fractal function is discussed and the composition operation on the fractal interpolation functions is extended to the case of differentiable fractal functions.
