Comments on various extensions of the Riemann-Liouville fractional   derivatives : about the Leibniz and chain rule properties
  Starting from the Riemann-Liouville derivative, many authors have built their own notion of fractional derivative in order to avoid some classical difficulties like a non zero derivative for a constant function or a rather complicated analogue of the Leibniz relation. Discussing in full generality the existence of such operator over continuous functions, we derive some obstruction Lemma which can be used to prove the triviality of some operators as long as the linearity and the Leibniz property are preserved. As an application, we discuss some properties of the Jumarie's fractional derivative as well as the local fractional derivative. We also discuss the chain rule property in the same perspective.
