Abstract
This paper reviews some properties of the gamma function, particularly the incomplete gamma function and its complement, as a function of the Laplace variable s. The utility of these functions in the solution of initialization problems in fractional-order system theory is demonstrated. Several specific differential equations are presented, and their initialization responses are found for a variety of initializations. Both the time-domain and Laplace-domain solutions are obtained and compared. The complementary incomplete gamma function is shown to be essential in finding the Laplace-domain solution of a fractional-order differential equation.
