N2 - Fractional derivatives [e.g., 1] are almost as old as calculus itself, dating back all the way to Leibniz's times. They find applications in many branches of science, including electromagnetics [2], [3]. Many existing integral definitions seem to have issues with singular functions such as the step function and with distributions [1]. An alternative definition for the half-derivative using derivatives only would be to solve the operator equation mathcal{D} {frac{1}{2}}mathcal{D} {frac{1}{2}}=mathcal{D}, where mathcal{D} is the first derivative operator. This is done most readily in the spectral domain, where trivially mathcal{D} {x} {frac{1}{2}}=sqrt{-jk {x}}. Of particular interest is the half-curl operator [3], [4], whose spectral equivalent is.
