Evaluation of images of special functions under operators of fractional calculus has become a hot topic with hundreds of recently published papers. These are growing daily and we are able to comment here only on a few of them, including also some of the latest of 2019–2020, just for the purpose of illustrating our unified approach. Many authors are producing a flood of results for various operators of fractional order integration and differentiation and their generalizations of different special (and elementary) functions. This effect is natural because there are great varieties of special functions, respectively, of operators of (classical and generalized) fractional calculus, and thus, their combinations amount to a large number. As examples, we mentioned only two such operators from thousands of results found by a Google search. Most of the mentioned works use the same formal and standard procedures. Furthermore, in such results, often the originals and the images are special functions of different kinds, or the images are not recognized as known special functions, and thus are not easy to use. In this survey we present a unified approach to fulfill the mentioned task at once in a general setting and in a well visible form: for the operators of generalized fractional calculus (including also the classical operators of fractional calculus); and for all generalized hypergeometric functions such as pΨq and pFq, Fox H- and Meijer G-functions, thus incorporating wide classes of special functions. In this way, a great part of the results in the mentioned publications are well predicted and appear as very special cases of ours. The proposed general scheme is based on a few basic classical results (from the Bateman Project and works by Askey, Lavoie–Osler–Tremblay, etc.) combined with ideas and developments from more than 30 years of author’s research, and reflected in the cited recent works. The main idea is as follows: From one side, the operators considered by other authors are cases of generalized fractional calculus and so, are shown to be (m-times) compositions of weighted Riemann–Lioville, i.e., Erdélyi–Kober operators. On the other side, from each generalized hypergeometric function pΨq or pFq (p≤q or p=q+1) we can reach, from the final number of applications of such operators, one of the simplest cases where the classical results are known, for example: to 0Fq−p (hyper-Bessel functions, in particular trigonometric functions of order (q−p)), 0F0 (exponential function), or 1F0 (beta-distribution of form (1−z)αzβ). The final result, written explicitly, is that any GFC operator (of multiplicity m≥1) transforms a generalized hypergeometric function into the same kind of special function with indices p and q increased by m.

AbstractMotivated mainly by certain interesting recent extensions of the generalized hypergeometric function [H. M. Srivastava, A. Çetinkaya and I. Onur Kıymaz, A certain generalized Pochhammer symbol and its applications to hypergeometric functions, Appl. Math. Comput. 226 2014, 484–491] by means of the generalized Pochhammer symbol, we introduce here a new extension of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function. We then systematically investigate several properties of the extended Mittag-Leffler function including some basic properties, Mellin, Euler-Beta, Laplace and Whittaker transforms. Furthermore, certain properties of the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and derivatives associated with the extended Mittag-Leffler function are also investigated. Some interesting special cases of our main results are pointed out.

Abstract In this paper, we present two new unified integral formulas involving a generalized V-function. Some interesting special cases of the main results are also considered in the form of corollaries. Due to the general nature of the V-function, several results involving different special functions such as the exponential function, the Mittag-Leffler function, the Lommel function, the Struve function, the Wright generalized Bessel function, the Bessel function and the generalized hypergeometric function are obtained by specializing the parameters in the presented formulas. More results are also discussed in detail.

In the present paper, we establish some composition formulas for Marichev-Saigo-Maeda (MSM) fractional calculus operators with V -function as the kernel. In addition, on account of V -function, a variety of known results associated with special functions such as the Mittag-Leffler function, exponential function, Struve’s function, Lommel’s function, the Bessel function, Wright’s generalized Bessel function, and the generalized hypergeometric function have been discovered by defining suitable values for the parameters.

The main aim of this paper is to provide a new generalization of Hurwitz-Lerch Zeta function of two variables. We also investigate several interesting properties such as integral representations, summation formula, and a connection with the generalized hypergeometric function. To strengthen the main results we also consider some important special cases.

Abstract Various extensions of the beta function together with their associated extended hypergeometric and confluent hypergeometric functions have been introduced and investigated. In this paper, using the very recently contrived extended beta function, we aim to introduce an extension F v p , q ; λ ; σ , τ u {{}_{u}F_{v}^{p,q;\lambda;\sigma,\tau}} of the generalized hypergeometric function F v u {{}_{u}F_{v}} and investigate certain classes of transforms and several identities of a generalized probability distribution involving this extension. In fact, we present some interesting formulas of Jacobi, Gegenbauer, pathway, Laplace, and Legendre transforms of this extension multiplied by a polynomial. We also introduce a generalized probability distribution to investigate its several related properties. Further, we consider some special cases of our main results with an argument about the derived process of a known result.

The aim of this paper is to establish certain integrals involving product of the Aleph function with Srivastava’s polynomials and Fox-Wright’s Generalized Hypergeometric function. Being unified and general in nature, these integrals yield a number of known and new results as special cases. For the sake of illustration, four corollaries are also recorded here as special case of our main results.

Abstract In this paper, new forms of Ostrowski type inequalities are established for a general class of fractional integral operators. The main results are used to derive Ostrowski type inequalities involving the familiar Riemann-Liouville fractional integral operators and other important integral operators. We further obtain similar types of inequalities for the integral operators whose kernels are the Fox-Wright generalized hypergeometric function. Several consequences and special cases of some of the results including applications to Stolarsky’s means are also pointed out.

AbstractIn 1966 Ivan Dimovski introduced and started detailed studies on the Bessel type differential operators B of arbitrary (integer) order m ≥ 1. He also suggested a variant of the Obrechkoff integral transform (arising in a paper of 1958 by another Bulgarian mathematician Nikola Obrechkoff) as a Laplace-type transform basis of a corresponding operational calculus for B and for its linear right inverse integral operator L. Later, the developments on these linear singular differential operators appearing in many problems of mathematical physics, have been continued by the author of this survey who called them hyper-Bessel differential operators, in relation to the notion of hyper-Bessel functions of Delerue (1953), shown to form a fundamental system of solutions of the IVPs for By(t) = λy(t). We have been able to extend Dimovski’s results on the hyper-Bessel operators and on the Obrechkoff transform due to the happy hint to attract the tools of the special functions as Meijer’s G-function and Fox’s H-function to handle successfully these matters. These author’s studies have lead to the introduction and development of a theory of generalized fractional calculus (GFC) in her monograph (1994) and subsequent papers, and to various applications of this GFC in other topics of analysis, differential equations, special functions and integral transforms.Here we try briefly to expose the ideas leading to this GFC, its basic facts and some of the mentioned applications.
