    Fractional calculus has emerged as both an important and powerful mathematical tool, finding applications across diverse scientific domains where phenomena often display non-local or anomalous behavior [1,2,3,4]. In particular, the fractional power of the Laplace operator Δ=ni=12i is a focal point of investigation in various mathematical and applied contexts [5,6,7,8]. Its definition involves the Fourier transform:

    (Δ)α/2ϕ=F1(ξαFϕ(ξ)),for ϕS(Rn),

    where F and F1 represent the Fourier transform and its inverse, and S(Rn) denotes the Schwartz space.

    An alternative representation valid for α(0,2) of the fractional Laplacian is provided through a pointwise formula, as articulated in [9]:

    (Δ)α/2f(x)=1γn(α)limε0RnB(0,ε)f(x)f(xy)yn+α dy,

    where γn(α) is a constant defined as

    γn(α)=πn/2|Γ(α2)|2αΓ(n+α2),

    and B(0,ε) denotes the ball of radius ε centered at the origin.

    It is crucial to recognize that the fractional Laplacian exhibits various equivalent definitions throughout Rn, as extensively discussed in [9]. This variability underscores the rich mathematical structure and diverse perspectives associated with this nonlocal differential operator.

    Within this expansive framework, our study is dedicated to exploring a specific facet of fractional calculus, with a particular focus on a singular differential operator known as the Laplace-Bessel operator [10], (1.88)], which is given by

    Δν=ni=1Bνi,Bνi=2x2i+νixixi,νi0. (1.1)

    The Laplace-Bessel operator serves as a mathematical model for phenomena characterized by multi-axial symmetry in various domains. Extensive harmonic analysis related to this operator has been conducted by prominent mathematicians, including B. Muckenhoupt and E. Stein [11], I. Kipriyanov, M. Klyuchantsev [12,13,14], K. Trimeche [15], L. Lyakhov [16,17], K. Stempak [18], E. L. Shishkina, and S. M. Sitnik [10], among others.

    The fractional Laplace-Bessel operator, denoted as (Δν)α/2 with order α, is introduced in our work as a pseudo-differential operator through the multi-dimensional Bessel transform. The investigation into the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator was pioneered by L. Lyakhov [19], and additional insights have been contributed by [16,20]. For specific insights into the one-dimensional case, refer to [10,21,22,23].

    Since the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator reduces to the standard Laplacian when the multi-index \(\nu\) is equal to zero, a challenging question arises: Does the equivalence of the ten definitions of the fractional Laplace operator still hold for the fractional Bessel operator? To address this question, we ground our investigation in a meticulously defined function space, denoted as \(\mathscr{H}_\nu^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\), capturing functions that exhibit well-behaved behavior under the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator. This space is inspired by the fractional Sobolev spaces introduced by Butzer et al. [24].

    To tackle this question, we employ the well-known multi-dimensional Poisson transform \(\mathscr{P}_\nu\), as defined in [10], Definition 23], and establish a new intertwining relation between the fractional Laplacian and the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator valid in the Schwartz space \(S_*(\mathbb{R}^n)\), given by

    Pν(Δ)α/2=(Δν)α/2Pν. (1.2)

    This relation is reduced for α=2 to the one obtained in [10], Statement 4, pp. 137]. Since the multi-dimensional Poisson transform keeps the Schwartz space invariant, this particularly partially responds to our starting question.

    The structure of the paper is as follows:

    In Section 2, we provide an initial overview of foundational concepts. The topics covered encompass the multi-dimensional Bessel transform, generalized translation operator, and generalized convolution, collectively setting the stage for a comprehensive understanding of subsequent content.

    Section 3 succinctly presents the primary research outcomes. Here, we summarize the significant findings that have been attained through our investigation.

    In Section 4, we furnish a comprehensive proof of the core results. Through meticulous derivation and thorough explanation, we establish the validity of our findings, providing readers with an in-depth grasp of the underlying mathematical foundations.

    Finally, in Section 5, we present additional results, including relations such as Bochner subordination and intertwining relations for the fractional Laplace-Bessel.

    In the subsequent discussions, we will employ the following notations:

    ● \(S_*(\mathbb{R}^{n}) \): The space of \(C^\infty\) functions, even with respect to each variable, and rapidly decreasing together with their derivatives.

    ● \(L^p_\nu(\mathbb{R}^{n}_+) \), \(1 \leq p \leq \infty\): The space of measurable functions \(f \) on \(\mathbb{R}^{n}_+ \) such that

    fν,p=(Rn+|f(x)|pxνdx)1/p<,p[1,),
    fν,=esssupxRn+|f(x)|<.

    Here, \(\nu = (\nu_1, \nu_2, \dots, \nu_n)\) and \(x^\nu = x_1^{\nu_1} \ldots x_n^{\nu_n} \) and \(\mathbb{R}^n_+ = \{x \in \mathbb{R}^n : x_1 > 0, \ldots, x_n > 0\} \).

    Let \(\nu = (\nu_1, \ldots, \nu_n) \) be a multi-index with each \(\nu_i \geq 0 \). The multi-dimensional Bessel transform \(\mathscr{F}_\nu\phi \) of a function \(\phi \in L^1_{\nu}(\mathbb{R}_+^n) \) is defined by

    Fνϕ(ξ)=ˆϕ(ξ)=Rn+ϕ(x)Jν(x,ξ)xνdx,

    where the multi-dimensional Bessel function \(\mathscr{J}_\nu(x, \xi) \) is defined as

    Jν(x,ξ)=ni=1jνi12(xiξi),with Jν(0,ξ)=1.

    Here, \(j_\gamma (t)\) is the normalized Bessel function of the first kind, given by

    jγ(t)=2γΓ(γ+1)tγJγ(t),γ1/2,

    and \(J_\gamma (t)\) denotes the Bessel function of the first kind [25,26]. We list some well-known basic properties of the multi-dimensional Bessel transform as follows: For the proofs, we refer to [10] and the references therein.

    (ⅰ) For all ϕL1ν(Rn+), the function Fνϕ is continuous on Rn+, and we have

    Fνϕν,ϕν,1. (2.1)

    (ⅱ) The multi-dimensional Bessel transform Fν acts as a topological isomorphism on S(Rn), seamlessly extending to an isomorphism on L2ν(Rn+), where, for any ϕL2ν(Rn+), the following Plancherel formula holds:

    Rn+|Fνϕ(ξ)|2ξνdξ=aνRn+|ϕ(x)|2xνdx, (2.2)

    where

    aν=2|ν|nni=1Γ2(νi+12). (2.3)

    (ⅲ) Inversion formula: Let ϕL1ν(Rn+) such that FνϕL1ν(Rn+), then we have

    F1νϕ(ξ)=1aνRn+ϕ(x)Jν(x,ξ)xνdx. (2.4)

    The multi-dimensional generalized translation of a continuous function ϕ on Rn denoted by τxϕ is defined as follows [10], Definition 26]:

    τxϕ(y):=ni=1Γ(νi+1)πΓ(νi+12)π0π0ϕ((x1,y1)θ1,,(xn,yn)θn)×ni=1sin2νiθidθ1dθn, (2.5)

    where

    (xi,yi)θi=x2i+y2i2xiyicosθi,i=1,,n. (2.6)

    For every \(\phi\in L^{p}_{\nu}(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}) \), the function \(\tau_x \phi\) belongs to \(L^{p}_{\nu}(\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}) \), and we have

    τxϕν,pϕν,p. (2.7)

    The convolution operator determined by τx is as follows:

    (ϕψ)(x)=Rn+ϕ(ξ)τxψ(ξ)ξνdξ. (2.8)

    This convolution operation is commutative, associative, and satisfies the following property: For \(\phi, \, \, \psi\in L^1_\nu(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\), the convolution \(\phi * \psi \in L^1_\nu(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\), and we have

    Fν(ϕψ)=FνϕFνψ.

    In this section, we outline the central contributions of this paper, beginning with the introduction of the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator (Δν)α/2 of order α. This fractional derivative is treated as a pseudo-differential operator using the multi-dimensional Bessel transform. To facilitate our discussions, we operate within a tailored function space defined as follows:

    Hαν(Rn+)={ϕL2ν(Rn+):Rn+ξ2α|Fνϕ(ξ)|2ξνdξ<}. (3.1)

    In accordance with the terminology introduced by Butzer et al. in [24], we commonly denote the space Hαν(R) as the fractional Bessel space of order α.

    Definition 3.1. Let 0<α<2. For ϕHαν(Rn+), we define the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator (Δν)α/2ϕ as

    (Δν)α/2ϕ=F1ν(αFνϕ),inL2ν(Rn+). (3.2)

    Remark 3.1. If αFνϕL1ν(Rn+), then the integral in (3.2) exists as an ordinary Lebesgue integral, that is

    (Δν)α/2ϕ(ξ)=1aνRn+xαFνϕ(x)Jν(x,ξ)xνdx,ξRn+.

    For α(0,2) and ε>0, we set

    R(α)εϕ(x)=1γν(α)Rn+B(0,ε)ϕ(x)τxϕ(ξ)ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ, (3.3)

    where the normalized constant \(\gamma_\nu(\alpha)\) is given by

    γν(α)=|Γ(α2)|ni=1Γ(νi+12)2α+nΓ(|ν|+α+n2). (3.4)

    The following theorem represents the first main result, as it seeks to characterize the fractional Bessel space Hαν(Rn+) defined in (3.1).

    Theorem 3.1. Let α(0,2). The following statements are equivalent:

    (i) ϕL2ν(Rn+) and there exists ψL2ν(Rn+) such that:

    R(α)εϕψ2,ν=o(1)asε0;

    (ii) R(α)εϕ2,ν=O(1) as ε0;

    (iii) ϕHαν(Rn+).

    In this specific case, the theorem presented below manifests the classical fractional-order derivative, extensively explored by A. Marchaud in 1927 [27]. His work holds fundamental importance in approximation theory and fractional calculus.

    Theorem 3.2. Let α(0,2). For a function ϕHα(Rn+), the fractional multi-dimensional Bessel operator (Δν)α/2ϕ(x) can be represented as follows:

    (Δν)α/2ϕ(x)=1γν(α)limε0+Rn+B(0,ε)ϕ(x)τxϕ(ξ)ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξinL2ν(Rn+).

    Building upon Theorem 3.2 with \(\nu = (0, \dots, 0)\), we derive the following representation of the Laplace operator \(\Delta = \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2_1} + \dots + \frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2_n}\) throughout \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\).

    Corollary 3.1. Let \(\alpha \in (0, 2)\). For a function \(\phi \in \mathscr{H}_\alpha(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\), the fractional Laplace operator \((- \Delta)^{\alpha/2}\phi(x)\) on \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\) can be represented as follows:

    (Δ)α/2ϕ(x)=1γ(α)limε0+Rn+B(0,ε)2ϕ(x)ϕ(x+ξ)+ϕ(xξ)ξn+αξndξ,

    where the normalized constant \(\gamma(\alpha)\) is given by

    γ(α)=πn2|Γ(α2)|2n+αΓ(n+α2).

    The corollary that follows, has previously been established in [23]. It is a direct consequence of Theorem 3.2 in the case when \(n = 1\) and \(\nu \geq 0\).

    Corollary 3.2. For a function ϕHα(R+), the fractional Bessel derivative \((-B_\nu)^{\alpha/2}\phi\), with \(\alpha \in (0, 2)\), takes the form:

    (Bν)α/2ϕ(x)=2α+1Γ(ν+α+12)Γ(ν+12)|Γ(α2)|limε0+εϕ(x)τxϕ(ξ)ξα+1dξ.

    The next proposition highlights additional properties of the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator, which can be readily discerned by employing (3.2) and the traits of the multi-dimensional Bessel transform. The specific details are intentionally left for the readers.

    Proposition 3.1. Let ϕ, ψHν(Rn+).

    (i) Translation invariance: for all xRn+,

    τx(Δν)α/2ϕ=(Δν)α/2τxϕ,inL2ν(Rn+).

    ii) Convolution invariance:

    (Δν)α/2(ϕψ)=((Δν)α/2ϕ)ψ,inL2ν(Rn+).

    iii) Symmetry:

    (Δν)α/2ϕ,ψL2ν(Rn+)=ϕ,(Δν)α/2ψL2ν(Rn+).

    Lemma 4.1. For α(0,2), it holds

    Rn+1Tν(x,ξ)ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ=γν(α)xα.

    Proof. We start by recalling the following formula [25], Ch.12]:

    0Jγ(ar)rγ+1ep2r2dr=aγ(2p2)γ+1ea2/4p2,Re(γ)>1. (4.1)

    Then

    12|ν|t|ν|+12ni=1Γ(νi+12)Rn+eξ|2/4tJγ(x,ξ)ξνdξ=etx2. (4.2)

    In particular, for x=0, and using the fact that Tν(0,ξ)=1, we get

    12|ν|t|ν|+12ni=1Γ(νi+12)Rn+eξ|2/4tξνdξ=1. (4.3)

    Combining (4.2) and (4.3) to get

    Rn+eξ|2/4tt12(|ν|+n)(1Tν(x,ξ))ξνdξ=2|ν|ni=1Γ(νi+12)(1etx2). (4.4)

    Multiplying both sides of (4.4) by t1α/2 and integrating over (0,) with respect to the variable t, we obtain

    Rn+0eξ|2/4tt1+12(|ν|+α+n)(1Tν(x,ξ))ξνdtdξ=2|ν|ni=1Γ(νi+12)01etξ2t1+α/2dt. (4.5)

    A straightforward computation reveals that

    0eξ24tt1+12(|ν|+α+n)dt=2|ν|+n+αΓ((|ν|+n+α)/2)ξ(|ν|+n+α).

    To evaluate the second integral in (4.5), we use the following:

    λα/2=1|Γ(α2)|0(1etλ)dtt1+α2,0<α<2. (4.6)

    Therefore,

    Rn+1Tν(x,ξ)ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ=|Γ(α2)|ni=1Γ(νi+12)2α+nΓ(|ν|+α+n2)xα.

    We introduce the function

    λα,ε(x)=1γν(α)Rn+B(0,ε)1Tν(x,ξ)ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ. (4.7)

    In the following, we give some elementary properties of λα,ε(x), and their proofs follows easily from Lemma 4.1.

    Lemma 4.2. For the function λα,ε(x), the following holds:

    i) |λα,ε(x)|1,

    ii) |λα,ε(x)|xα,

    iii) limε0 λα,ε(x)=xα.

    Proposition 4.1. For 0<α<2, the operator R(α)ε is a bounded operator from L2ν(Rn+) onto itself, and satisfies

    R(α)εf2,νκ(ε)f2,ν, (4.8)

    where

    κ(ε)=2α+1Γ(|ν|+α+n2)αεα|Γ(α2)|Γ(n+|ν|2). (4.9)

    Proof. Applying Holder-Minkowski inequality and using (2.7), we get

    f(x)τxf(ξ)2,ν2f2,ν. (4.10)

    This leads to

    R(α)εf2,ν2f2,νγν(α)CB(0,ε)1ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ.

    Utilizing polar coordinates, the integral becomes

    CB(0,ε)1ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ=ε1rα+1Sn1+ωνdσ(ω)dr. (4.11)

    From [28], we have

    Sn1+ωνdσ(ω)=ni=1Γ(νi+12)2n1Γ(n+|ν|2). (4.12)

    Therefore,

    CB(0,ε)1ξ|ν|+α+nξνdξ=2α+1Γ(|ν|+α+n2)αεα|Γ(α2)|Γ(n+|ν|2). (4.13)

    This completes the proof.

    Proposition 4.2. Let ϕL2ν(Rn+). The multi-dimensional Bessel transform of R(α)εϕ is given by

    Fν(R(α)εϕ)=λα,εFκϕ,inL2ν(Rn+). (4.14)

    Proof. For ϕL2ν(Rn+), and since L1ν(Rn+)L2ν(Rn+) is dense in L2ν(Rn+), we choose a sequence ϕnL1ν(Rn+)L2ν(Rn+) with limnϕnϕ2,ν=0. By Fubini's theorem, we easily obtain

    Fν(R(α)εϕn)(x)=λα,ε(x)Fν(ϕn)(x). (4.15)

    Then, by Lemma 4.2 and the isometry property of the multi-dimension Bessel transform,

    Fν(R(α)εϕ)λα,ε(x)Fνϕ2,κFκ(R(α)εϕ)Fν(R(α)εϕn)2,ν+λα,ε{Fν(ϕn)Fν(ϕ)}2,νC(ε)ϕϕn2,ν,

    where C(ε)=a1/2ν(κ(ε)+2). Thus, this proves the assertion.

    Now, we proceed to the proof of Theorem 3.1.

    Proof. We will establish the implications (i)(ii), (ii)(iii), and (iii)(i).

    (i)(ii): This implication is direct.

    (ii)(iii): Assume that condition (ii) holds. Utilizing Fatou's Lemma, we obtain

    .αFνϕ2,νlim infε0λα,εFνϕ2,ν=lim infε0Fν(R(α)εϕ)2,ν=aνlim infε0R(α)εϕ2,ν.

    Since the last term is finite due to the assumed condition, we establish (iii).

    (iii)(i): Assume ϕHαν(Rn+). Given that the multi-dimensional Bessel transform is an isomorphism of L2ν(Rn+), there exists ψL2ν(Rn+) such that Fνψ(x)=xαFνϕ(x). Consequently, we have

    a1/2νR(α)εϕ(x)ψ(x)2,ν=Fν(R(α)εϕ)Fν(ψ)2,ν=(λα,ε(x)xα)Fν(ϕ)2,ν.

    Additionally, we find

    (λα,ε(x)xα)2|Fνϕ|24x2α|Fνϕ|2=4|Fνψ|2.

    Applying the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem, we conclude that

    limε0(λα,εα)2Fνϕ22,ν=0.

    This completes the proof of (i).

    Hence, we have established all three implications, concluding the proof.

    Proof of Theorem 3.2. By applying Proposition 4.1 and utilizing Lemma 4.2 (ⅲ), we have

    limε0+Fν(R(α)εϕ)(ξ)=limε0+λα,ε(ξ)Fνϕ(ξ)=ξαFνϕ(ξ). (4.16)

    Furthermore, employing the isometry property of the multi-dimensional Bessel transform,

    limε0+Fν(R(α)εϕ)Fν(Δν)α/2ϕ)2,ν=limε0+R(α)εϕ(Δν)α/2ϕ2,ν=0.

    Since the pointwise limit must coincide almost everywhere with the strong limit, the assertion follows.

    In what follows, we restrict ourselves to the Schwartz space S(Rn). For ϕS(Rn) and α>0, as indicated in Remark 3.1, the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator (Δν)α/2ϕ(ξ) is given by

    (Δν)α/2ϕ(ξ)=1aνRn+xαFνϕ(x)Jν(x,ξ)xνdx.

    Since the multi-dimensional Bessel transform Fν maps the Schwartz space S(Rn) onto itself, it is evident that (Δν)α/2ϕ is a C-bounded function on Rn, and it satisfies the relationship

    Δν(Δν)α/2ϕ=(Δν)α/2Δνϕ.

    By the dominated convergence theorem, we obtain the following results:

    limα0(Δν)α/2ϕ=ϕandlimα2(Δν)α/2ϕ=Δνϕ.

    For α(0,2), we have

    (Δν)α/2ϕ(x)=1γν(α)Rn+ϕ(x)τxϕ(ξ)ξ|ν|+n+αξνdξ.

    Before stating our result, let's recall that the Laplace-Bessel operator \(-\Delta_\nu\) is the generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter semigroup \(\{e^{t\Delta_\nu}\}_{t \geq 0}\), where the operator \(e^{t\Delta_\nu}\) is defined as [29]

    etΔνϕ=F1ν(et2Fνϕ), (5.1)

    for all \(t \geq 0\) and \(\phi \in L^2_\nu(\mathbb{R}^n_+)\). Consequently, \(e^{t\Delta_\nu}\) is an integral operator represented by

    etΔνϕ(x)=(Gtνϕ)(x)=Rn+τxGtν(ξ)ϕ(ξ)dμν(ξ),

    where

    Gtν(x)=ex24t2|ν|t|ν|+12ni=1Γ(νi+12). (5.2)

    Of particular interest is the scenario when p[1,2) and ϕC0(Rn)Lp(Rn+). In this case, the function u(t,x)=Gtνϕ(x) plays a pivotal role as an infinitely smooth solution to the Cauchy problem:

    {Δνu(x,t)=u(x,t)t,u(x,0)=ϕ(x).

    Theorem 5.1. Let 0<α<2. For ϕS(Rn), we have

    (Δν)α/2ϕ(x)=1|Γ(α2)|0(ϕ(x)etΔνϕ(x))dtt1+α2. (5.3)

    Proof. Since etΔkϕS(Rn), applying the inversion formula for the multi-dimensional Bessel transform and the properties (5.1) of the heat semigroup, we obtain:

    ϕ(x)etΔνϕ(x)=1aνRn+(1etξ2)Fνϕ(ξ)Tν(x,ξ)ξνdξ.

    This equality, combined with the relation (2.1), implies that

    0|ϕ(x)etΔνϕ(x)|dtt1+α2=|Γ(α2)|aνRn+ξα|Fνϕ(ξ)|ξνdξ<+.

    Therefore, Fubini's theorem can be applied to obtain

    1Γ(α2)0ϕ(x)etΔνϕ(x)dtt1+α2=1aνRn+ξαFνϕ(ξ)Tν(x,ξ)ξν=(Δν)α/2ϕ(x).

    Recall the well-known Poisson operator \(\mathscr{P}_\nu \phi (x) \). This operator acts on the integrable function \(\phi\in L^p_\nu(\mathbb{R}^n_+) \) and is defined by

    Pνϕ(x)=cνx2νx10xn0ϕ(ξ)ni=1(x2iξ2i)νi1/2dξi, (5.4)

    where the normalized constant \(c_\nu \) is given by

    cν=ni=12Γ(νi+1)πΓ(νi+1/2). (5.5)

    In one dimension, the Poisson transform is also known as the Riemann-Liouville transform. Extending this concept to multiple dimensions, we can refer to the Poisson transform as the multi-dimensional Riemann-Liouville transform. It has been demonstrated in [10], pp. 137] that the Poisson integral transform serves as an intertwining operator between the multi-dimensional Bessel operator and the Laplace operator \(\Delta \) on \(\mathbb{R}^n_+\). More precisely, for \(\phi \in S_*(\mathbb{R}^n)\), we have

    PνΔϕ=ΔνPνϕ. (5.6)

    In the following theorem, we extend the intertwining relation (5.6) to the fractional setting.

    Theorem 5.2. In the Schwartz space \(S_*(\mathbb{R}^n)\), the following intertwining relation holds:

    Pν(Δ)α/2=(Δν)α/2Pν. (5.7)

    Proof. From [10], formula 3.138], we have

    Tν(x,ξ)=Pν[eix,ξ]. (5.8)

    By applying the inversion formula for the standard Fourier transform \(\mathcal{F}\) and utilizing Fubini's theorem, we derive the following expression:

    Pν(etΔϕ)(x)=1aνRn+etξ2Fϕ(ξ)Pν[eix,ξ]ξνdξ=1aνRn+etξ2Fϕ(ξ)Tν(x,ξ)ξνdξ.

    Utilizing this equality, the intertwining relation (5.6), and the differentiation theorem under the integral sign, we observe that

    ΔνPν(etΔϕ)=PνΔ(etΔϕ)=Pν(tetΔϕ)=tPν(etΔϕ).

    Additionally, the dominated convergence theorem implies that limt0Pν(etΔϕ)=Pνϕ. Hence, the function Pν(etΔϕ) serves as a solution to the Δν-Cauchy problem:

    {Δνu(x,t)=u(x,t)t,u(x,0)=Pνϕ(x).

    As Pνϕ is bounded, the solution to this problem is unique, yielding

    etΔν[Pν(ϕ)]=Pν(etΔϕ).

    Finally, combining this relation with (5.3) and Fubini's theorem yields the desired intertwining relation.

    In conclusion, our study focuses on the domain of fractional calculus by introducing and analyzing the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator as a pseudo-differential operator. We have successfully established a comprehensive framework that not only elucidates the fundamental properties of the fractional Laplace-Bessel operator but also connects it with the classical fractional Laplacian through a novel intertwining relation. This relationship is validated within the Schwartz space. Future research will aim to further explore the practical applications of these theoretical findings and extend the analysis to other related fractional differential operators.
