Abstract: | On a series of examples from the field of viscoelasticity we demonstrate that it is possible to attribute physical meaning to initial conditions expressed in terms of Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives, and that it is possible to obtain initial values for such initial conditions by appropriate measurements or observations.Dedicated to professor Hari M.
