Abstract
In this paper, we consider a generalized Mittag-Leffler (ML)-type function and establish several integral formulas involving Jacobi and related transforms. We also establish some of the composition of generalized fractional derivative formulas associated with the generalized Mittag-Leffler (ML)-type function. Additionally, certain special cases of generalized fractional derivative formulas involving the Mittag-Leffler (ML)-type function are corollarily presented.
1. Introduction
In 1903, Gösta Mittag-Leffler [1] introduced the Mittag-Leffler (ML) function, which is represented by
Wiman [2] generalized the Mittag-Leffler (ML) function (1) in 1905 and introduced the following definition:
where with .
Later, in 1971, Prabhakar [3] introduced the three-parameter Mittag-Leffler (ML) function, which can be defined as,
where with .
Wright [4] introduced an extension of the generalized hypergeometric function called the Fox–Wright function, which can be expressed in the following form:
where , and the coefficients and satisfying the condition
In particular, when , (4) reduces to
where is the well-known generalized hypergeometric function [5].
In this work, we define a Mittag-Leffler (ML)-type confluent hypergeometric function introduced by Ghanim and Al-Janaby [6]:
where , such that . It is worth pointing out that series representation of Equation (7) returns a variety of connections with special functions, including a confluent hypergeometric function and generalized Mittag-Leffler (ML) functions (1)–(3).
2. Jacobi and Related Integral Transforms
The Jacobi integral transform [7] (p. 501) of a function can be represented as follows:
where and provided that the integral on the right-hand side in (8) exists. Here, is the classical orthogonal Jacobi polynomial [8] (Chapter 10) defined by
The Jacobi polynomials contain, as their special cases, other classical orthogonal polynomials, such as the Gegenbauer polynomials , the Legendre polynomials , and the Tchebycheff polynomials and of the first and second kind (see, [9]). The Legendre polynomials and the Gegenbauer polynomials have the following relationships:
and
respectively. Thus, by applying the relationships in (10) and (11) and ignoring the constant binomial coefficients present in (10), the parameters and in (8) earlier can be suitably specialized to define the corresponding Gegenbauer transform and the Legendre transform , as follows:
