We give a brief review of the general principles, definitions, and several features of fractional derivatives/integrals, and then we review some of our ideas and findings in exploring potential applications of fractional calculus in some electromagnetic problems.fractional derivativefractional integralelectromagnetismfractional multipoleOn the role of fractional calculus in electromagnetic theoryArticle
