operators, orthonormal expansions, Stieltjes integrals/measures, generating functions.

Table 18.3.1
There has been disagreement about the identification of the Chebyshev polynomials
of the third and fourth kinds, denoted and ,
in published references. Originally, DLMF used the definitions given in
(Andrews et al., 1999, Remark 2.5.3). However, those definitions were the reverse of those
used by Mason and Handscomb (2003), Gautschi (2004) following
Mason (1993) and Gautschi (1992), as was noted in several
warnings added in Version 1.0.10 (August 7, 2015) of the DLMF. Since the latter definitions are more
widely established, the DLMF is now adopting the definitions of Mason and Handscomb (2003).
Essentially, what we previously denoted is now written as , and vice-versa.
This notational interchange necessitated changes in Tables 18.3.1, 18.5.1, and
18.6.1, and in Equations (18.5.3), (18.5.4), (18.7.5),
(18.7.6), (18.7.17), (18.7.18), (18.9.11), and (18.9.12).

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).
