Abstract
In this study, we derive multiple incomplete matrix Mittag-Leffler (ML) functions. We systematically investigate several properties of these incomplete matrix ML functions, which include some general properties and distinct representations of integral transforms. We further study the properties of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives related to the incomplete matrix ML functions. Additionally, some interesting special cases of this work are highlighted. Finally, we establish the solution to the kinetic equations as an application.
1. Introduction
Gosta Mittag-Leffler (ML), a Swedish mathematician, introduced the given function in 1903 [1].
The well-known Gamma function, represented by , is involved in the definition of the ML function, , for a complex variable z. The variable in this case is non-negative. When , this function corresponds to the standard exponential function, which is a straightforward extension of the exponential function. It is estimated between the hypergeometric function and the pure exponential function for . Its application in a number of disciplines, such as engineering, biology, chemistry, physics, and applied sciences, has increased its importance over the past 20 years. Whenever fractional order differential equations or fractional order integral equations are obtained, the ML function naturally appears. Understanding its characteristics and applications in a variety of domains has been made possible by its generalisation, as Wiman first investigated in 1905. and denote the real part and imaginary part, respectively, of a complex number z.
The two parametric Mittag-Leffler function is defined by [2]
where with and .
In 1971, Prabhakar [3] introduced the function in the form of
where and , where is the Pochhammer symbol, as
Thus, it is clear that the following special cases holds.
Shukla and Prajapati [4] introduced the ML function generalized in 2007, as follows:
where and .
After that, many other authors investigated and explored several properties and applications of the generalized ML function in the solution of fractional order integral and fractional order differential equations (see, e.g., [5,6,7,8,9]). Later on, a detailed and comprehensive review was provided by Haubold et al. (see [10,11,12]).
The solutions for special matrix differential equations have become accessible in recent years due to their special function with matrix parameters. These are systems of differential equations as these matrix differential equations are each carried out by a corresponding scalar special function. A corresponding scalar special function may fulfil the system of equations that represent the other results for special matrix functions, including generating functions, series definitions, recurrence relations, etc. (see [13,14,15,16,17,18]).
Additionally, the ML function with matrix arguments is equally as useful as its scalar version, and it can be utilized successfully in a wide range of applications, such as control theory and other related fields, the efficient and stable solution of systems of fractional differential equations (FDEs), the estimation of the solution for particular multiterm FDEs, and other related fields (see [19,20]).
At the present, the generalized version allows for matrices as arguments and provides a powerful tool for solving fractional differential and integral equations in matrix form. In 2018, Garrappa et al. [21] computed the Mittag-Leffler function with matrix arguments, with some applications in fractional calculus, and in 2023, Pal et al. [22] introduced a special matrix analog of the four-parameter Mittag-Leffler function.
The main objective of this work is to develop various aspects of incomplete matrix ML functions, which include certain fundamental properties and various representations of integral transformations, and to analyse incomplete ML functions with matrix parameters by means of the incomplete Pochhammer symbol. We investigate some of the features of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives associated with the incomplete matrix ML functions. We additionally highlight some interesting particular examples of our major results. In the conclusion, incomplete matrix ML functions are utilized as an application to address the kinetic equations.
This work follows the following outline: in Section 2, we look at some of the most common definitions and basic applications of matrix arguments in special functions. A matrix variation of the incomplete ML functions is presented and its convergence is investigated in Section 3. In Section 4, representations based on the Euler-Beta and Laplace transforms for the incomplete matrix ML functions are presented, in addition to some important theorems. Utilizing incomplete matrix ML functions, we acquire several interesting characteristics of the fractional calculus operators in Section 5. The implementation of ML functions in the fractional kinetic equation solution will be discussed in Section 6. Finally, some concluding remarks are collected in Section 7.

6. Application to the Solution of Fractional Kinetic Equation
The resolution of fractional kinetic equations (FKEs) has attracted significant attention from researchers in a number of applied scientific domains, which include engineering, dynamical systems, physics, and control systems. Its ability to support the development of mathematical models for an extensive variety of physical procedures and mathematical physics applications is the reason that it has attracted this attention. Kinetic equations (KEs) are crucial for mathematical physics and natural science as they explain the continuity of matter’s motion in a variety of astrophysical situations. As stated in references like [12,31], recent research has discovered various fractional calculus operators that enable extending and generalizing FKEs. Haubold and Mathai established a functional differential equation in [12], which relates the rate of reaction change, decomposition rate, and production rate. It appears as follows:
where represents the reaction rate, represents the destruction rate, denotes the production rate, and satisfies the function defined by .
The differential equation given below is a particular case of (45) when spatial fluctuations or inhomogeneities in the value are ignored.
The initial conditions specified for this differential equations are where i represents the number of density of species at time , . If term i is ignored and the specific kinetic Equation (46) is integrated, the following relation will be obtained
Within this context, is a constant value, while stands for the Riemann–Liouville integral operator with a degree of . The fractional kinetic equation (FKE) is redefined by Haubold and Mathai as follows, as detailed in [12].

Furthermore, Saxena Kalla created an alternative FKE, as given in [31,34,35,36].
here, m is a constant, represents the species amount, which is initially at time level ; however, f is an integrable function at interval .
As discussed in [34,37,38,39,40,41], a variety of research articles have appeared recently in this field utilising FKEs to solve different integral transforms, such as Fourier, Laplace, Sumudu, and Mellin transforms, including special functions and matrix functions.
In this theorem, we examined the solutions for FKEs that require the extension of incomplete matrix ML functions.
