"The book provides a survey of many different methods for the numerical computation of Riemann–Liouville integrals of fractional order and of fractional derivatives of Riemann–Liouville, Caputo, and Weyl type. Algorithms for the solution of associated ordinary differential equations and certain special classes of partial differential equations are presented as well."—Zentralblatt MATH 1326
