The purpose of this brief article is to initiate discussions in this special issue by proposing desiderata for calling an operator a fractional derivative or a fractional integral. Our desiderata are neither axioms nor do they define fractional derivatives or integrals uniquely. Instead they intend to stimulate the field by providing guidelines based on a small number of time honoured and well established criteria.

Brief descriptions of various mathematical and physical interpretations of fractional derivatives and integrals have been collected into this chapter as points of reference and departure for deeper studies. “Mathematical interpretation” in the title means a brief description of the basic mathematical idea underlying a precise definition. “Physical interpretation” means a brief description of the physical theory underlying an identification of the fractional order with a known physical quantity. Numerous interpretations had to be left out due to page limitations. Only a crude, rough and ready description is given for each interpretation. For precise theorems and proofs an extensive list of references can serve as a starting point.
