Abstract
The fractional calculus of special functions has significant importance and applications in various fields of science and engineering. Here, we aim to find the fractional integral and differential formulas of the extended hypergeometric-type functions by using the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda operators. All the outcomes presented here are of general attractiveness and can yield a number of previous works as special cases due to the high degree of symmetry of the involved functions.
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus is nowadays one of the most rapidly growing subjects of mathematical analysis, in spite of the fact that it is nearly 300 years old. The giants of mathematics, G.W. Leibnitz and L. Euler, thought about the possibility to perform differentiation of non-integer order. The real birth and far-reaching development of fractional calculus are due to the numerous efforts of mathematicians from the XIX century to the beginning of the XX century. A current trend in contemporary fractional calculus operators is the generalization of fractional calculus operators (GFCO). Due to the expansion of numerous and even unexpected recent applications of the operators of the classical fractional calculus operators, GFCO has become a very powerful tool stimulating the development of this field.
Since then, many known researchers and applied scientists have made valuable contributions in the modifications of the fractional calculus operators and their generalizations. The generalized Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral was introduced by Marichev [1] as Mellin-type convolution operators with the Appell function in their kernel. These operators were rediscovered and studied by Saigo [2] and, subsequently, by Saigo and Maeda [3] as generalizations of the Saigo fractional integral operators, which were first studied by Saigo [4] and then applied by Srivastava and Saigo [5], Srivastava and Agarwal [6] and Choi and Agarwal [7] in their systematic investigations. On the other hand, Virchenko et al. [8] defined some fractional integral operators involving the generalized function and their inverses in terms of the Mellin transformation. At the same time, some researchers studied the fractional operators associated with Mittag-Leffler-type functions [9,10] and some studied extended Caputo-type and Erdlyi–Kober-type fractional derivative operators [11,12,13]. We can find more details in this direction in the survey papers by Kiryakova [14,15] and associated books [16,17,18].
2. Preliminaries
In recent years, many extensions and generalizations of special functions have witnessed a significant evolution. This modification in the theory of special functions offers an analytic foundation base for the many problems in mathematical physics and engineering sciences, which have been solved absolutely and which have various practical applications. The theory of special functions revolves around the two most important basic special functions, i.e., the beta function and the Gamma function, because most of the special functions are expressed either in terms of these functions.
Classical Euler beta function defined as follows [19].
Gamma function defined as follows [19].
Furthermore, the mathematical and physical applications of hypergeometric functions can be found in various areas of applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. The Gauss hypergeometric function is a solution of a homogenous second-order differential equation, which is called the hypergeometric differential equation, and it is given by
The Gauss hypergeometric function is defined as [20]
where represents the Pochhammer symbol defined below:
Later, Kummer replaced the parameter z by and took the limit in the (3); then, the hypergeometric differential equation becomes a confluent hypergeometric differential equation or Kummer’s equation.
The confluent hypergeometric function is the solution of the above differential Equation (5).
The confluent hypergeometric function is defined as [20]
Very recently, Goyal et al. [21] introduced an extension of the beta function using the Wiman function, thus studying the various properties and relationships of that function:
where , , and is 2-parameter Mittag-Leffler function given by [22].
Motivated by the above work, Jain et al. [23] extended the Gauss hypergeometric function and confluent hypergeometric function by using the above extended beta function and studied the various properties of these extended functions. They also studied the increasing or decreasing nature (monotonicity), log-concavity, and log-convexity of the extended beta function defined in [21].
The extended Gauss hypergeometric function is defined as [23]:
where , , , and is the extended beta function.
The extended confluent hypergeometric function is defined as [23]:
where , and
Remark 1.
The concept of the Hadamard product (convolution) of the functions f and g is very important for our results.
The Hadamard product of f and g can be defined as follows [24]:
where and .
The third Appell function (also known as one of the functions in Horn’s list) is defined as follows (see [25]):
here,
Now, we recall here the generalized Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral and fractional derivative operators, introduced by Marichev [1], as Mellin-type convolution operators with an Appell function in their kernel, which are defined as follows:

Remark 2.
Here, it is important to mention that the Appell function involved in Definitions (1) and (2) satisfies a system of two linear partial differential equations of the second order and reduces them to the Gauss hypergeometric function as follows (see ([26], p. 25, Equation (35)) and ([27], p. 301, Equation (9.4))):
It is easily observed that
and
In view of the obvious reduction formulas with first replacing the parameter a by , and then setting and in Equations (12), (13), (16) and (17) the generalized Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral and fractional derivative operators can be reduced to the Saigo fractional integral and derivative operators , and involving the hypergeometric function in their kernel, which is defined by
and
and
where and .
Several further consequences of the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral and fractional derivative operators can easily be derived by first setting and in Equations (21) and (22). We easily obtain the interesting consequences of the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral and fractional derivative operators would involve the Erdélyi–Kober fractional integral operators and , the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator and the Weyl fractional integral operator , respectively:

4. Concluding Remarks
Motivated by the demonstrated usages and the potential for application of the many operators in fractional calculus, and also the considerably large spectrum of special functions in mathematics, physics, and engineering, we have introduced here new results for the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional integral and Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional derivative involving extended hypergeometric functions. Our results are expressed as the Hadamard product of the extended hypergeometric functions and generalized hypergeometric functions. Some special cases of our main results are also derived easily due to the high degree of symmetry of the involved functions. The results presented in this paper are very useful in the theory of approximation, which is used to find several inequalities of the Marichev–Saigo–Maeda fractional operators involving extended hypergeometric functions. We conclude this investigation by emphasizing the possibility of further research involving q-extensions of hypergeometric functions.
