3. In our opinion the meaning of the Van Hove method has been made transparent by the discussion of Zwanzig in Ref. 2. For this reason, we refer ourselves to the work of Zwanzig more than to the original paper by Van Hove (Ref. 1).

30. It is important to stress that the fractional time derivative adopted in Ref. 28 aims at a purpose different from that of this section. Conversely, the fractional time derivative adopted in Ref. 27, equivalent to setting (Formula presented) in the denominator of (Formula presented) in Eq. (43), conflicts with the generalized Van Hove method and consequently with the numerical and theoretical conclusions of both Refs. 29 and 7.
