Application of Fractional Derivatives in Characterization of ECG graphs of Right Ventricular Hypertrophy Patients

There are many functions which are continuous everywhere but non-differentiable at someor all points such functions are termed as unreachable functions. Graphs representing suchunreachable functions are called unreachable graphs. For example ECG is such an unreachable graph. Classical calculus fails in their characterization as derivatives do not exist at the unreachable points. Such unreachable functions can be characterized by fractional calculus as fractional derivatives exist at those unreachable points where classical derivatives do not exist. Definition of fractional derivatives have been proposed by several mathematicians like Grunwald-Letinikov, Riemann-Liouville, Caputo and Jumarie to develop the theory of fractional calculus. In this paper we have used Jumarie type fractional derivative and consequently the phase transition (P.T.) which is the deference between left fractional derivative and right fractional derivatives to characterize those points. A comparative study has been done between normal ECG sample and problematic ECG sample (Right Ventricular Hypertrophy) by the help of above mentioned mathematical tool.
