Abstract

A brief survey of the properties of the Erdélyi-Kober operators of fractional integration and their generalizations (due to Cooke, Lowndes and others) is given. The use of these operators to solve the dual (and triple) integral equations, to which mixed boundary value problems of mathematical physics may be reduced, is illustrated by reference to specific problems. The emphasis throughout is on those results of the fractional calculus which arise frequently in applications but some indication is also given of possible theoretical developments.
