Modified fractional logistic equation

In the article (West, 2015), the author has obtained a function as the solution to fractional logistic equation (FLE). As demonstrated later in Area et al. (2016), this function (West function) is not the solution to FLE, but nevertheless as shown by West, it is in good agreement with the numerical solution to FLE. The West function indicates a compelling feature, in which the exponentials are substituted by Mittag-Leffler functions. In this paper, a modified fractional logistic equation (MFLE) is introduced, to which the West function is a solution.
