Abstract
The beta-logarithmic function substantially generalizes the standard beta function, which is widely recognized for its significance in many applications. This article is devoted to the study of a generalization of the classical beta-logarithmic function in a matrix setting called the extended beta-logarithmic matrix function. The proofs of some essential properties of this extension, such as convergence, partial derivative formulas, functional relations, integral representations, inequalities, and finite and infinite sums, are established. Moreover, an application of the extended beta-logarithmic function in matrix arguments is proposed in probability theory. Further, numerical examples and graphical presentations of the new generalization are obtained.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Special functions, which are natural generalizations of elementary functions, are derived by solving partial differential equations that satisfy a specific set of conditions. For centuries, many special functions have been developed and implemented in various fields, including combinatorics, chemistry, statistics, physics, and engineering (see, e.g., [1,2,3]).
On the other hand, recent extensions of special functions build upon the work of esteemed researchers such as Abdalla et al. [4,5], Abd-Elmageed et al. [6], Hidan et al. [7], Fuli He et al. [8], and Cuchta et al. [9], who have shown a strong interest in studying the extension of special functions in matrix arguments. Contributions to the field by considering various extensions of the gamma, beta, and hypergeometric matrix functions have been documented in [10,11,12,13,14]. Inspired by earlier studies, a new extension of the beta function in its matrix version is presented: the extended beta-logarithmic matrix function (EBLMF). An application and discussion of some of its analytic and numerical properties were also provided. One can easily obtain various applications from the close relationship of EBLMF with several special functions.
This paper is structured as follows: Section 2 gives the definition of the extended beta-logarithmic matrix function and studies its convergence properties and partial derivative formulas. Section 3 presents various properties of the EBLMF, including functional relations, inequalities, infinite sums, finite sums, and integral formulas. In Section 4, an application of the extended beta-logarithmic function in matrix arguments is offered. Section 5 provides numerical illustration examples and graphical descriptions of the EBLMF and some exceptional cases. Finally, in Section 6, we conclude with some final remarks.

4. The Beta-Logarithmic Distribution: Matrix Arguments
As is well known, the beta distribution is one of the essential variate distributions in statistical analysis, and its importance is that it is in deriving moments and can help us understand the different probabilities associated with the random variable (cf. [29]). Traditional beta distributions were introduced in [11,12,13,28,30] using extended beta functions. They suggested that these distributions could help analyze and review techniques employed in specific circumstances during project evaluation and review. They pointed out that these distributions could be advantageous for evaluating and reviewing the method used in particular cases during project evaluation and review. Here, the generalized beta-logarithmic distribution of matrix arguments is defined as

The incomplete generalized beta-logarithmic matrix function in (55) can be reduced to numerous simple incomplete extended beta matrix functions (see, e.g., [4,13]).
Also, let then one obtains (cf. [11,28])
Following the particular case of (57) at , the mean of the distribution is provided as

The results in [11] can be achieved when in the above results. Also, setting in (54), corresponding to (g) in Remark 2.1, one can achieve various results in [28] (Chapter 5, p. 258).
Remark 8.

5.2. Graphical Representations
This section illustrates the generalization presented in this paper with the previous results in [20] in their graphical forms to provide a comprehensive understanding. The differences were handled using the infinite norm (3) since the comparisons run over matrices. The size of all matrices used here is . The choice of the used matrices is and , as in [20], while is a matrix chosen to be approaching the zero matrices, .
Figure 1 shows the graph of the differences between the EBLMF and beta matrix function against various values of in the interval for multiple choice of matrix having infinity-norm starting from 0.5 and approaching 0 and taking . As value increases, the difference decreases when is not close to . However, for approaching zero matrices, the difference decreases for small values of and then it changes direction. That is because of the trade-off between and the choice of in (17). Similar observations can be made when fixing and plotting the differences versus , as shown in Figure 2.

6. Conclusions
Later, many researchers contemplated the extension of the classical beta function to the matrix framework. The extended beta-logarithmic matrix function extends the extended beta matrix function [10] and the beta matrix function [20]. This manuscript explores several analytical properties of this function and employs this extension to derive the generalized beta distribution of matrix arguments. In addition, some numerical illustration examples and graphical descriptions were presented to show the efficacy of this extension by using MATLAB R2023b. Finally, the extended beta-logarithmic matrix function has the potential to extend several known applications based on numerous special functions in the literature.
