  • Abstract
    In this work we discuss the accuracy of some approximations for fractional derivatives. We analyze the cases in which the fractional derivatives are defined in a domain different from the real line and show how the order of accuracy can be affected by the presence of boundaries. We observe the accuracy can be easily lost, in particular near the boundary points, unless some conditions of regularity are satisfied or certain boundary conditions are verified.
