Keywds: Fractional Comple Transfm, Modified Riemann-Liouville Derivative, Fractional Differential Equation 1. Introduction Transfm is an imptant method to solve mathematical problems. Many useful transfms f solving various problems were appeared in open literature, such as the travelling wave transfm [1], the Laplace transfm [2], the Fourier transfm [3], the Bäcklund transfmation [4], the integral transfm [5], and the local fractional integral transfms[6]. Very recently the fractional comple transfm [7-10] was suggested to convert fractional der differential equations with modified Riemann-Liouville derivatives [11-13] into integer der differential equations, and the resultant equations can be solved by advanced calculus. 2.

The Fractional Comple Transfm The fractional comple transfm was first proposed in Refs. [7]. Consider a fractional differential equation 3 γ λ u u u u u u 3 γ λ t y z + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 0. (7) where u/ t is Jumarie's fractional derivative of der with respect to t. The fractional comple transfm requires qt T =, Γ (1 + ) p X =, Γ (1 + ) γ ky Y =, Γ (1 + γ ) λ lz Z =. Γ (1 + λ) (8) where p, q, k, and l are unknown constants, 0< 1, 0< 1, 0< γ 1, 0< λ 1. Using the basic properties of the fractional derivative listed in Eqs. (2)~(6), we can convert the fractional derivatives into classical derivatives:

Its general solution can be epressed as T + Xu = 0, (21) X uxt (, ) = ft ( / X), (22) uxt (, ) = f( X/ T), (23) where the function f ( ξ ) is an arbitrary and first der function differentiable with respect to ξ. We obtain the needed solution, which reads Introducing ξ defined as t ut (, ) = f( / ), Γ (1 + ) Γ (1 + ) (24) t ut (, ) = f( / ), Γ (1 + ) Γ (1 + ) (25) t ξ = /. Γ (1 + ) Γ(1 + ) (26) and using Jumarie's chain rule, we have
