Abstract
This article deals with some variants of Krätzel integral operators involving Fox’s H-function and their extension to classes of distributions and spaces of Boehmians. For real numbers a and , the Fréchet space of testing functions has been identified as a subspace of certain Boehmian spaces. To establish the Boehmian spaces, two convolution products and some related axioms are established. The generalized variant of the cited Krätzel-Fox integral operator is well defined and is the operator between the Boehmian spaces. A generalized convolution theorem has also been given.

1. Introduction
The notion of Fox’s H-function is identified by various authors such as Mathai-Saxena [1], Srivastava et al. [2], Kilbas and Saigo [3], and some others. For where and Fox’s H-functions, via the Mellin–Barnes-type integrals, are defined as [4]:
with:
where, for , . An empty product of Equation (1) is to be considered one. The infinite contour L separates all possible poles of the gamma functions to the left of the contour and all possible poles of the gamma functions to the right of the said contour. Moreover, L can be formulated as in the following:
- (i)
- is the loop to the left that begins at and ends at with
- (ii)
- is the loop to the right that begins at and ends at with .
- (iii)
- is the contour that begins at and ends at where
Let , and when then the function is defined by the improper integral:
A straightforward analytic investigation and evaluation of this integral representation by a statistical technique is given in the literature. Most investigations were devoted to , , However, Kilbas et al. [5] have considered this function for real and complex values of p and z, respectively. Their results substantially relied on a representation of in terms of Fox’s H-functions as follows:
provided while:
provided The function plays an important role in the astrophysical thermonuclear functions that have been derived on the basis of Boltzmann–Gibbs statistical mechanics, and it, in particular, for and gives:
where is the McDonald function. The function was further introduced as the kernel function of the so-called Krätzel integral operator defined by [6]:
to include the Meijer integral operator for and the Laplace integral operator for and . However, the investigations of the Krätzel integral operators are continued by obtaining Tauberian and Abelian theorems and some related inversion formulas in the classical theory. Later in [7], Rao–Debnath have discussed the Krätzel integral on a certain space of distributions based on the kernel method of extension. Here, we give a revised version of the generalized Krätzel integral discussed by Al-Omari and Kilicman [8,9] in terms of the generality and clearance of results. In view of (3), we introduce Krätzel–Fox’s integral operator as:
provided the integral exists. For a real number a, being fixed, satisfying where and the set is defined as the collection of those test functions that are -functions on that possess the property:

Therefore, if denotes the Schwartz space of test functions of compact supports, then is contained in , and the topology of induced on by is weaker than that of . Indeed, any restriction of to is in the Schwartz space of distributions.
We divide this paper into four sections. In Section 1, we have given the necessary definitions we need for our next investigation. In Section 2, we introduce convolution products and generate the Krätzel spaces of Boehmians. In Section 3, we give an estimation of the Krätzel integral operator and obtain some properties in the class of Boehmians. The Conclusion Section is given at the end of the article.
2. Boehmian Spaces
For the construction of the Boehmian spaces, readers are to be familiar with the abstract construction of the Boehmian space. Otherwise, they may refer to [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. Here, we make use of the following convolution products. Throughout various works of the first author, the convolution product was often used:
whereas we suggest another convolution product defined by:
provided the integrals exist. Our construction in this article begins by proving the following theorem.
Theorem 1.
Let and Then, we have .
Proof.
Assume and are given. Then, by and the concept of semi-norms of we, for some positive numbers b and fixed a satisfying write:
where and are the bounds of the support of Hence, for some positive constant A, gives:
since
Hence, the fact that yields for all .
This finishes the proof of the theorem. □
Theorem 2.
Let and then we have:
in

It is proven by Theorem 1 that for any and . To establish the equality in the previous equation, we employ and Fubini’s theorem to write:
Then, setting variables as gives:
Once again, finishes our proof of this theorem. □
We introduce delta sequences as usual. A sequence is a delta sequence if it can satisfy the following:
The set of all such sequences is denoted by
By using simple integral integration, we state without proof the following theorem.
Theorem 3.

Assume the hypothesis of the theorem is satisfied for f and Then, the use of , and yields:
where and The hypothesis that and implies:
where and M are positive real numbers.
Hence, considering the limit as and finishes our proof of Theorem 4. □
The following Theorem 5 follows from the fact and We avoid the details.
Theorem 5.
Let Then
Hence, we have constructed the Boehmian space by the set , the subset and the set of delta sequences.
Another Boehmian space, say with and , follows from techniques similar to that of and the facts that [17]:
For addition, convergence and multiplication in and , we refer readers to [8,9] and the citations therein.
3. The Krätzel–Fox Integral Operator of Generalized Functions
By using the kernel method, we introduce the distributional Krätzel–Fox integral as a mapping acting on the space of testing functions. For certain appropriateness in our results, we throughout this paper set:
The following result is very necessary.
Theorem 6.
Let be the space determined by Then, we have:
where a and are real numbers, but b is fixed.
Proof.
By using differential properties of the H-function together with simple computations, we obtain .
Hence, for each , the asymptotic behavior of H-functions reveals that:
This finishes the proof of our Theorem. □
Therefore, for and a fixed real number a satisfying where and , the generalized Krätzel integral operator applied to a distribution can be introduced as:
which is the application of f to the kernel function.
The mandatory step of defining the Krätzel–Fox integral operator of a Boehmian is as follows.
Theorem 7.
Let and Then, we have:
where a is a fixed real number satisfying , and
Proof.
Applying to gives:
Setting variables gives
Hence the theorem.
In view of the above, we define the Krätzel–Fox integral operator of and:
where a is a fixed real number satisfying where and
Theorem 8.
The Krätzel–Fox integral operator is well defined.
Proof.
Let then Taking into account Theorem 7, we have:
It follows from that in Therefore:
This finishes our proof of the proposition. □
Theorem 9.
The Krätzel–Fox integral operator is linear.
Proof.
Let Then, we write:
Hence,
Furthermore, for , we have:
The proof is completed. □
Theorem 10.
Let and then
Proof.
Assume and then we get reveals:
Now, Theorem 7 gives:
This finishes the proof of the theorem. □
4. Conclusions
This paper has presented an extension of a Fréchet space of smooth functions to a Fréchet space of Boehmians. It has also presented a Krätzel–Fox convolution product and established the Krätzel–Fox convolution theorem as well. Consequently, the generalized Krätzel–Fox integral operator has been given as a well-defined linear mapping whose convolution theorem coincides with the convolution theorem of the classical integral.
