Extended Mittag-Leffler function and associated fractional calculus operators

Abstract

Abstract Motivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the generalized hypergeometric function [H. M. Srivastava, A. Çetinkaya and I. Onur Kıymaz, A certain generalized Pochhammer symbol and its applications to hypergeometric functions, Appl. Math. Comput. 226 2014, 484–491] by means of the generalized Pochhammer symbol, we introduce here a new extension of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function. We then systematically investigate several properties of the extended Mittag-Leffler function including some basic properties, Mellin, Euler-Beta, Laplace and Whittaker transforms. Furthermore, certain properties of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives associated with the extended Mittag-Leffler function are also investigated. Some interesting special cases of our main results are pointed out.
