L1_poly = CaputoL1point(-0.5, lambda x: x**2 - 1) about differint HOT 6 CLOSED

The alpha value refers to the level of differentiation, you're specifying alpha=-0.5 which is a half integration. If that's what you want to do, you should first integrate your function normally, and then take a half derivative by specifying alpha=0.5.

I'll update that example to fix the error, thank you for noticing!

Hi Differint/Differint, But in your example code it works exactly like that?

I believe the wiki page was written using an old implementation, but it was written so long ago that I don't know why there's an example giving a result with an invalid call of the function.

Thank you.

It should work the same way as the theoretical formula, ignoring issues/errors due to the algorithm. For specifics, you should be able to find a reference to the paper used for the implementation in the functions docstring.
