Abstract

We consider fractional derivatives of characteristic functions. We use these fractional derivatives for the formulation of new conditions for the existence of non-integer moments. We also compare the known conditions for the existence of moments of arbitrary random variables with our new conditions. As a consequence many conditions can be written in a unified terminology.
