Introduction
Our translation of real-world problems to mathematical expressions relies on calculus, which in turn relies on the differentiation and integration operations of arbitrary order with a sort of misnomer fractional calculus which is also a natural generalization of calculus and its mathematical history is equally long. It plays a significant role in a number of fields such as physics, rheology, quantitative biology, electro-chemistry, scattering theory, diffusion, transport theory, probability, elasticity, control theory, engineering mathematics, and many others. Fractional calculus like many other mathematical disciplines and ideas has its origin in the quest of researchers to expand its applications to new fields. This freedom of order opens new dimensions and many problems of applied sciences can be tackled in a more efficient way by means of fractional calculus.
Laplace and Sumudu transformations are closely linked to natural transformation. The Natural transform, also known as the N-transform, was initially introduced by Khan and Khan (2008) [1]; Al-Omari (2013) [2]; Belgacem and Silambarasan [3] explored its features (2012b). Maxwell's equations were solved using the Natural transform in Belgacem and Silambarasan (2011, 2012a) [4]. Belgacem and Silambarasan's (2011, 2012c) works on Natural transformation can be found here [5] for more information. If we assume that the function is fractional derivative and continuous, the Natural transform often works with continuous and continuously differentiable functions. The Natural transform, like the Laplace and Sumudu transforms, does not work since the function is not derivative. In a similar vein, we must establish a new term that we will call fractional Natural transform [6-8].
The purpose of this research article is to calculate the fractional order natural transform of the Aleph function.
Definitions and preliminaries used in this paper
Classical Laplace transform: The Laplace transform is very useful in analysis and design for systems that are linear and time-invariant (LTI). Beginning in about 1910, transform techniques were applied to signal processing at Bell Labs for signal filtering and telephone long-line communication by H. Bode and others. Transform theory subsequently provided the backbone of Classical Control Theory as practiced during the World Wars and up to about 1960, when State Variable techniques began to be used for control design. Pierre Simon Laplace was a French mathematician who lived from 1749-1827, during the Age of Enlightenment characterized by the French Revolution, Rousseau, Voltaire and Napoleon Bonaparte.
Suppose f(t) is a real-valued function defined over the interval (0,∞). The Laplace transform of f(t) is defined by
Or
The Laplace transform is said to exist if the above integral is convergent for some values of s.
The Inverse Laplace Transform can be described as the transformation into a function of time. In the Laplace inverse formula, f(s) is the Transform of f(t), while in the Inverse Transform f(t) is the Inverse Laplace Transform of f(s). Therefore, we can write this Inverse Laplace transform formula as follows:
Natural transform: In mathematics, the Natural transform is an integral transform similar to the Laplace transform and Sumudu transform, introduced by Zafar Hayat Khan[1] 2008. It converges to both Laplace and Sumudu transform just by changing variables. Given the convergence of the Laplace and Sumudu transforms, the N-transform inherits all the applied aspects of both transforms. Most recently, F. B. M. Belgacem [2] has renamed it the natural transform and has proposed a detailed theory and applications. The natural transform of a function f(t), defined for all real numbers t ≥ 0, is the function R(u, s), defined by:
Provided the function f (t) ∈ R2 is defined in the set
Khan [1] showed that the above integral converges to the Laplace transform when u = 1 and into Sumudu transform for s = 1.

Conclusion
We are trying for more specified and detailed results of this transformation. The results proved in this paper give some contributions to the theory of the fractional order transform, believed to be new and are likely to find certain applications to the solution of the fractional differential and integral equations order equations. The importance of this work is to find the half derivative, fractional order Laplace Natural transforms, etc.
