Jun 24, 2016 at 11:32 comment added Todd Trimble John, the Mathematica script and the image seem not to be accessible; could you rectify that when you have a chance? Thanks.
May 5, 2011 at 14:06 comment added John Sidles Thank you very much, Gerald! It appears that these authors and I are solving somewhat different problems, using rather similar methods ... and they too are reporting mainly numerical results. It seems there is an opportunity here for someone (not me!) to advance our analytical understanding of these functions.

Postcript added that summarizes present knowledge
Apr 29, 2011 at 19:19 comment added Gerald Edgar There is a paper (I don't have the reference handy) that as I recall does this: Using the idea of the fixed-point construction of the fractional iterate, but in case there is no real fixed point, uses a pair of complex-conjugate fixed points to construct a real fractional iterate. I think some contour integrals were in there, too.
