Dirichlet Averages of Generalized Mittag-Leffler Type Function

Abstract

Since Gösta Magus Mittag-Leffler introduced the so-called Mittag-Leffler function in 1903 and studied its features in five subsequent notes, passing the first half of the 20th century during which the majority of scientists remained almost unaware of the function, the Mittag-Leffler function and its various extensions (referred to as Mittag-Leffler type functions) have been researched and applied to a wide range of problems in physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering. In the context of fractional calculus, Mittag-Leffler type functions have been widely studied. Since Carlson established the notion of Dirichlet average and its different variations, these averages have been explored and used in a variety of fields. This paper aims to investigate the Dirichlet and modified Dirichlet averages of the R-function (an extended Mittag-Leffler type function), which are provided in terms of Riemann-Liouville integrals and hypergeometric functions of several variables. Principal findings in this article are (possibly) applicable. This article concludes by addressing an open problem.
