1. Introduction
Fractional differential equations (FDEs) have received tremendous interest in recent decades. They play a significant role in describing real-world phenomena such as energy [1], financial systems [2], hydrologic modeling [3], electrochemistry [4], mathematical biology [5], and signal processing [6], amongst others [7,8]. Later on, fractional kinetic equations can be seen as an essential part of fractional differential equations, where a wide range of analytical and numerical methods can be used to obtain their solutions. Also, several ways to study the extension and development of fractional kinetic equations involving various special functions have been presented. For example, we refer to contemporary works by Agarwal et al. [9], Saxena et al. [10], Akel et al. [11], Hidan et al. [12], Almalkia and Abdalla [13], Kolokoltsov and Troeva [14], Habenom et al. [15] and Abdalla and Akel [16].
On the other hand, fractional q-differential equations are an extension of the fractional differential equations in quantum calculus (or q-calculus) frameworks. Nowadays, the solution to the quantum analogue (or q-analogue) of the fractional kinetic equation with the Riemann–Liouville fractional q-integral operator is acquired using the technique of a q-analogue of the Laplace transform, which has been discussed by Garg and Chanchlani [17]. Meanwhile, Purohit and Faruk Uçar investigated an application of the q-Sumudu transform for fractional q-kinetic equations in [18]. Recently, Bairwa et al. [19] obtained the solution to the fractional q-kinetic equation pertaining to the generalized q-Mittag-Leffler function via the q-Sumudu transform. In a similar vein, Abujarad al. [20] introduced and investigated the solutions to q-fractional kinetic equations, including the generalized hyper Bessel function, using the q-Shehu transform.
Motivated by the previous works, we define new quantum extensions of the generalized hyper Mittag-Leffler functions in this article and establish their properties and applications in generalized fractional q-kinetic equations. This work’s organization is as follows. Section 2 presents the basic concepts of q-calculus and reviews the versions of Mittag-Leffler functions that are required in the following sections. In Section 3, we introduce the two q-analogues of the generalized hyper Mittag-Leffler functions and study the convergence properties of these functions for . Some of the fractional q-operators of the generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions using the Caputo fractional q-derivatives, the Hilfer fractional q-derivatives, the Kober q-integrals, and the Riemann-Liouville q-integrals are proposed in Section 4. In Section 5, we find the solutions to the q-fractional kinetic equations involving the generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions by using the q-Sumudu transform. In Section 6, we point out the graphical representations of the primary obtained solutions in Section 4 using the MATLAB program. Eventually, we exhibit some concluding remarks in Section 7.

3. The Generalized Hyper -Mittag-Leffler Functions
Motivated by the studies quoted in Section 2.2, we introduce here the two q-analogues of the generalized hyper Mittag-Leffler function in the following definition:
Definition 13.
Let such that , and for the finite sets and Let , , and . Then, the function
is called the small generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler function. Similarly, the large generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler function is defined as follows:
Remark 1.
We now discuss the convergence properties of the generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions defined in Equations (33) and (34). First, the following theorem ensures the convergence and order of Equation (34):
Theorem 1.
Under the conditions and hypothesis in Definition 13, is an entire function for , and its order is equal to zero.
Proof.
Using the relation in Equation (9), and after simplifications, we arrive at the radius of regularity R of the above series as follows:
where is defined in Equation (9). Therefore, we have , and hence the function is an entire function. Now, we calculate the order of the entire function as follows (see [21,22]):
which given from Equation (45) as
Then, in light of Equation (7), we see that
According to [21], we observe that
Consequently, from Equation (47), we have
Thus, using the above technique in Equation (46), one would obtain
Hence, This completes the proof of Theorem 1. □
Second, the following result includes the absolute convergence of Equation (33):

Proof.
To prove that we can rewrite Equation (33) as
where
using the relation in Equation (9), and after calculations, it follows that
Thus, the function is convergent for if We thus arrive at the required result. □
Remark 2.
According to Remark 1, many particular cases can be inserted by Theorem 1 and Theorem 2.

5. Solutions to the Generalized Fractional -Kinetic Equations Pertaining to the Generalized Hyper -Mittag-Leffler Functions
In this section, we investigate some of the solutions to generalized fractional q-kinetic equations that encompass the generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions by applying the q-Sumudu transform.
First, we find the q-Sumudu transform of the generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions Equations (33) and (34) in Theorem 7 below.

Next, the main results of this section are as follows:
Theorem 8.
The solution to the q-kinetic equation
is given by

Proof.
In the same way as in the previous proof, the validity of the following results can be proven:
Theorem 9.

All the different values for the parameters were chosen according to the conditions of convergence of the functions in Equations (33) and (34). Furthermore, we could obtain several results from the graphical solutions to Equations (71) and (73) by selecting different values for and q that satisfied convergence of the functions in Equations (33) and (34).

7. Conclusions
Motivated by the established applications and future applications of fractional analysis in many branches of science, as well as the advent of a significantly larger spectrum of generalized Mittag-Leffler functions in statistics [30], physics [7], engineering [8], and other fields [31], this manuscript presents new forms of generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions in Equations (33) and (34). Then, we provided some of the convergence properties, fractional q-derivative, and q-integral operators of these functions. Furthermore, we investigated the solutions to the q-fractional kinetic equations in terms of the decided generalized hyper q-Mittag-Leffler functions by applying the defined q-Sumudu transform. Also, some exceptional cases for our principal outcomes were archived. In addition, we introduced graphical representations of the solutions, demonstrated in Section 5, using the program MATLAB.
