            Abstract : 
The fractional Fourier transform (FRT) permits a variety of associated fractional operations. This correspondence proposes a systematic method, based on the structure of the FRT, which not only provides unambiguous extensions of ordinary operations but permits writing the applicable expressions simply by inspection. The approach also exposes the possible paths for implementing such operations
