Removal of arbitrariness in the two-time correlator solution

Develop a solution method for the two-time voter-model autocorrelator on fractal substrates that avoids the apparent arbitrariness arising from the singular Mellin-transformed system with infinitely many solutions.

Background

To obtain the two-time autocorrelator, the paper reduces the problem to a singular two-by-two system after applying a Mellin transformation. Because the system has infinitely many solutions, the authors select one by imposing a physically motivated condition, such as continuity in the Euclidean limit. They explicitly ask whether the solution technique can be improved so that this arbitrary choice is avoided.

Can one improve on this technique of solution and avoid the apparent arbitrariness?
