def _compute_log_a_for_frac_alpha(q: float, sigma: float, alpha: float) -> float:
    r"""Computes :math:`log(A_\alpha)` for fractional ``alpha``.

    Notes:
        Note that
        :math:`A_\alpha` is real valued function of ``alpha`` and ``q``,
        and that 0 < ``q`` < 1.

        Refer to Section 3.3 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.10530.pdf for details.

    Args:
        q: Sampling rate of SGM.
        sigma: The standard deviation of the additive Gaussian noise.
        alpha: The order at which RDP is computed.

    Returns:
        :math:`log(A_\alpha)` as defined in Section 3.3 of
        https://arxiv.org/pdf/1908.10530.pdf.
