Abstract :
We computationally study 2 most recently defined fractional derivatives (FDs) with classical properties, both based on $1^{st}$ principles, also known as delta methods, involving limit approaches. Using the advantages of both the definitions we present a new limit definition of the FD that has always less computational error or, equivalently, more computational accuracy and at the same time satisfies all the classical properties that are observed by the foregoing 2 definitions. Such definitions are desirable so that these provide a smooth transition to/from the most extensively used and the best understood classical derivative (CD). Our study throws more light on the pros and cons of these definitions and possibly encourage further innovative approach to improve the definitions for still better/complete compatibility/generalization, and possibly to understand and to write the physical significance of the FD readily.
