The Generalized Fox–Wright Function: The Laplace Transform, the Erdélyi–Kober Fractional Integral and Its Role in Fractional Calculus

In this paper, we consider and study in detail the generalized Fox–Wright function Ψ˜qp introduced in our recent work as an extension of the Fox–Wright function Ψqp. This special function can be seen as an important case of the so-called I-functions of Rathie and H¯-functions of Inayat-Hussain, that in turn extend the Fox H-functions and appear to include some Feynman integrals in statistical physics, in polylogarithms, in Riemann Zeta-type functions and in other important mathematical functions. Depending on the parameters, Ψ˜qp is an entire function or is analytic in an open disc with a final radius. We derive its basic properties, such as its order and type, and its images under the Laplace transform and under classical fractional-order integrals. Particular cases of Ψ˜qp are specified, including the Mittag-Leffler and Le Roy-type functions and their multi-index analogues and many other special functions of Fractional Calculus. The corresponding results are illustrated. Finally, we emphasize the role of these new generalized hypergeometric functions as eigenfunctions of operators of new Fractional Calculus with specific I-functions as singular kernels. This paper can be considered as a natural supplement to our previous surveys “Going Next after ‘A Guide to Special Functions in Fractional Calculus’: A Discussion Survey”, and “A Guide to Special Functions of Fractional Calculus”, published recently in this journal.

Going Next after “A Guide to Special Functions in Fractional Calculus”: A Discussion Survey

In the survey Kiryakova: “A Guide to Special Functions in Fractional Calculus” (published in this same journal in 2021) we proposed an overview of this huge class of special functions, including the Fox H-functions, the Fox–Wright generalized hypergeometric functions pΨq and a large number of their representatives. Among these, the Mittag-Leffler-type functions are the most popular and frequently used in fractional calculus. Naturally, these also include all “Classical Special Functions” of the class of the Meijer’s G- and pFq-functions, orthogonal polynomials and many elementary functions. However, it so happened that almost simultaneously with the appearance of the Mittag-Leffler function, another “fractionalized” variant of the exponential function was introduced by Le Roy, and in recent years, several authors have extended this special function and mentioned its applications. Then, we introduced a general class of so-called (multi-index) Le Roy-type functions, and observed that they fall in an “Extended Class of SF of FC”. This includes the I-functions of Rathie and, in particular, the H¯-functions of Inayat-Hussain, studied also by Buschman and Srivastava and by other authors. These functions initially arose in the theory of the Feynman integrals in statistical physics, but also include some important special functions that are well known in math, like the polylogarithms, Riemann Zeta functions, some famous polynomials and number sequences, etc. The I- and H¯-functions are introduced by Mellin–Barnes-type integral representations involving multi-valued fractional order powers of Γ-functions with a lot of singularities that are branch points. Here, we present briefly some preliminaries on the theory of these functions, and then our ideas and results as to how the considered Le Roy-type functions can be presented in their terms. Next, we also introduce Gelfond–Leontiev generalized operators of differentiation and integration for which the Le Roy-type functions are eigenfunctions. As shown, these “generalized integrations” can be extended as kinds of generalized operators of fractional integration, and are also compositions of “Le Roy type” Erdélyi–Kober integrals. A close analogy appears with the Generalized Fractional Calculus with H- and G-kernel functions, thus leading the way to its further development. Since the theory of the I- and H¯-functions still needs clarification of some details, we consider this work as a “Discussion Survey” and also provide a list of open problems.

Review on Different Special Functions in Fractional Calculus

In this paper, we reviewed the specific tasks involved in solving different mathematical equations or fractional integral. Since solutions for different component of modeling models from various fields such as physics, engineering, chemistry, biological etc. involve special work as part of their solutions, here, we review and include the type and general- ization of such specialized functions.

Ostrowski-type inequalities for n-polynomial mathscr{P}-convex function for k-fractional Hilfer\u2013Katugampola derivative

In this article, we develop a novel framework to study a new class of convex functions known as n-polynomial mathscr{P} -convex functions. The purpose of this article is to establish a new generalization of Ostrowski-type integral inequalities by using a generalized k-fractional Hilfer–Katugampola derivative. We employ this technique by using the Hölder and power-mean integral inequalities. We present analogs of the Ostrowski-type integrals inequalities connected with the n-polynomial mathscr{P}-convex function. Some new exceptional cases from the main results are obtained, and some known results are recaptured. In the end, an application to special means is given as well. The article seeks to create an exciting combination of a convex function and special functions in fractional calculus. It is supposed that this investigation will provide new directions in fractional calculus.

A Guide to Special Functions in Fractional Calculus

Dedicated to the memory of Professor Richard Askey (1933–2019) and to pay tribute to the Bateman Project. Harry Bateman planned his “shoe-boxes” project (accomplished after his death as Higher Transcendental Functions, Vols. 1–3, 1953–1955, under the editorship by A. Erdélyi) as a “Guide to the Functions”. This inspired the author to use the modified title of the present survey. Most of the standard (classical) Special Functions are representable in terms of the Meijer G-function and, specially, of the generalized hypergeometric functions pFq. These appeared as solutions of differential equations in mathematical physics and other applied sciences that are of integer order, usually of second order. However, recently, mathematical models of fractional order are preferred because they reflect more adequately the nature and various social events, and these needs attracted attention to “new” classes of special functions as their solutions, the so-called Special Functions of Fractional Calculus (SF of FC). Generally, under this notion, we have in mind the Fox H-functions, their most widely used cases of the Wright generalized hypergeometric functions pΨq and, in particular, the Mittag–Leffler type functions, among them the “Queen function of fractional calculus”, the Mittag–Leffler function. These fractional indices/parameters extensions of the classical special functions became an unavoidable tool when fractalized models of phenomena and events are treated. Here, we try to review some of the basic results on the theory of the SF of FC, obtained in the author’s works for more than 30 years, and support the wide spreading and important role of these functions by several examples.

Riemann-Liouville and Caputo type multiple Erdélyi-Kober operators

Abstract In this paper some generalized operators of Fractional Calculus (FC) are investigated that are useful in modeling various phenomena and systems in the natural and human sciences, including physics, engineering, chemistry, control theory, etc., by means of fractional order (FO) differential equations. We start, as a background, with an overview of the Riemann-Liouville and Caputo derivatives and the Erdélyi-Kober operators. Then the multiple Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals and derivatives of R-L type of multi-order (δ 1,…,δ m) are introduced as their generalizations. Further, we define and investigate in detail the Caputotype multiple Erdélyi-Kober derivatives. Several examples and both known and new applications of the FC operators introduced in this paper are discussed. In particular, the hyper-Bessel differential operators of arbitrary order m > 1 are shown as their cases of integer multi-order. The role of the so-called special functions of FC is emphasized both as kernel-functions and solutions of related FO differential equations.

The mellin integral transform in fractional calculus

Abstract In Fractional Calculus (FC), the Laplace and the Fourier integral transforms are traditionally employed for solving different problems. In this paper, we demonstrate the role of the Mellin integral transform in FC. We note that the Laplace integral transform, the sin- and cos-Fourier transforms, and the FC operators can all be represented as Mellin convolution type integral transforms. Moreover, the special functions of FC are all particular cases of the Fox H-function that is defined as an inverse Mellin transform of a quotient of some products of the Gamma functions. In this paper, several known and some new applications of the Mellin integral transform to different problems in FC are exemplarily presented. The Mellin integral transform is employed to derive the inversion formulas for the FC operators and to evaluate some FC related integrals and in particular, the Laplace transforms and the sin- and cos-Fourier transforms of some special functions of FC. We show how to use the Mellin integral transform to prove the Post-Widder formula (and to obtain its new modi-fication), to derive some new Leibniz type rules for the FC operators, and to get new completely monotone functions from the known ones.

Some applications of fractional calculus operators to some classes of univalent functions

The object of the present paper is to prove various distortion theorems for fractional calculus of functions in the class Qn(α) consisting of analytic and univalent functions with negative coefficients in the unit disc. Furthermore, a distortion theorem for a fractonal integral operator of functions in the class Qn(α) is shown.

New classification of analytic functions with negative coefficients

New classification of analytic functions with negative coefficients is given by using the coefficients inequality, that is, new subclass A(p, n, Bk) of analytic functions with negative coefficient is defined. The object of the present paper is to prove various distortion theorems for functions in A(p, n, Bk), and for fractional calculus of functions belonging to A(p, n, Bk). Further, some properties of the class A(p, n, Bk) are shown.
