Language: English
Part of speech: name
Senses: examples: text: Lake Taiye and Qionghua Island were surrounded by meadows and gardens, suggesting the vastness of the Mongolian plains, represented irregularities, and accordingly, their insertion into the perimeter of the Imperial City caused its walls to be aligned toward the east of the city’s Central Axis. Ever since the Mongol capital was founded, this slight irregularity of the heart of the city has survived unchanged, despite the overall symmetrical layout, which can still be seen in the contemporary metropolis.

The paper presents the definition sets required for initialized fractional calculi. Two underlying bases have been used, the Riemann-Liouville based fractional calculus and the Grünwald based functional calculus (by reference).
text: One of the major advantages of fractional calculus is that it can be considered as a superset of integer-order calculus. Thus fractional calculus has the potential to accomplish what integer-order calculus cannot. We believe that many of the great future developments will come from the applications of fractional calculus to different fields.

text: This chapter presents a number of functions that have been found to be useful in providing solutions to the problems of fractional calculus. […]The Mittag-Leffler function is the basis function to functional calculus, as the exponential function is to the integer-order calculus.
