Subsections 1.15(vi), 1.15(vii), 2.6(iii)
A number of changes were made with regard to fractional integrals and derivatives.
In §1.15(vi) a reference to Miller and Ross (1993) was added,
the fractional integral operator of order
was more precisely identified as the
Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator of order
, and a paragraph was added below
(1.15.50) to generalize (1.15.47).
In §1.15(vii) the sentence defining the fractional derivative was clarified.
In §2.6(iii) the identification of the Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operator
was made consistent with §1.15(vi).
