Further results on the generalized Mittag-Leffler function operator

Abstract

The present paper deals with the study of a generalized Mittag-Leffler function operator. This paper is based on the generalized Mittag-Leffler function introduced and studied by Saxena and Nishimoto (J. Fract. Calc. 37:43-52, 2010). Laplace and Mellin transforms of this new operator are investigated. The results are useful where the Mittag-Leffler function occurs naturally. The boundedness and composition properties of this operator are established. The importance of the derived results further lies in the fact that the results of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function defined by Prabhakar (Yokohama Math. J. 19:7-15, 1971), Shukla and Prajapati (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 336:797-811, 2007), and the multiindex Mittag-Leffler function due to Kiryakova (Fract. Calc. Appl. Anal. 2:445-462, 1999; J. Comput. Appl. Math. 118:214-259, 2000; J. Fract. Calc. 40:29-41, 2011) readily follow as a special case of our findings. Further the results obtained are of general nature and include the results given earlier by Prajapati et al. (J. Inequal. Appl. 2013:33, 2013) and Srivastava and Tomovski (Appl. Math. Comput. 211:198-210, 2009). Some special cases of the established results are also given as corollaries.
