Prabhakar Functions of Le Roy Type: Inequalities and Asymptotic Formulae

Abstract

In this paper, the four-index generalization of the classical Le Roy function is considered on a wider set of parameters and its order and type are given. Letting one of the parameters take non-negative integer values, a family of functions with such a type of index is constructed. The behaviour of these functions is studied in the complex plane C and in different domains thereof. First, several inequalities are obtained in C, and then they are modified on its compact subsets as well. Moreover, an asymptotic formula is proved for ‘large’ values of the indices of these functions. Additionally, the multi-index analogue of the abovementioned four-index Le Roy type function is considered and its basic properties are obtained. Finally, several special cases of the two functions under consideration are discussed.
