Riemann-Liouville integral of a continuous function f(x) of order v(v 〉 0) which is written as D-Vf(x) has been proved to still be continuous and bounded. Furthermore, upper box dimension of D-v f(x) is no more than 2 and lower box dimension of D-v f(x) is no less than 1. If f(x) is a Lipshciz function, D-v f(x) also is a Lipshciz function. While f(x) is differentiable on [0, 1], D-v f(x) is differentiable on [0, 1] too.

If a continuous function f(x) satisfying HSlder condition, upper box dimension of Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of f(x) seems no more than upper box dimension of f(x).
