For any , we denote by
the α-th Grunwald-Letnikov fractional derivative of the Riemann zeta function ζ(s). For these derivatives we show:
inside the region | s − 1 | < 1. This result, the first of its kind, is proved by a careful analysis of integrals involving Bernoulli polynomials and bounds for fractional Stieltjes constants.
