SRIVASTAVA, ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY Mathieu–type Series for the ℵ–function Occurring in Fokker–Planck Equation Ram K. Saxena 1, Tibor K.

Closed form expressions are obtained for a family of convergent Mathieu type a–series and its alternating variant, whose terms contain an ℵ–function, which naturally occurs in certain problems associated with driftless Fokker–Planck equation with power law diffusion [25]. The ℵ–function is a generalization of the familiar H–function and the I–function. The results derived are of general char- acter and provide an elegant generalization for the closed form expressions the Mathieu–type series associated with the H–function by Pogány [8], for Fox–Wright functions by Pogány and Srivastava [13] and for generalized hypergeometric pFq and Meijer’s G–function by Pogány and Tomovski [16], and others. For the H–function [7, p. 216] the results are obtained very recently by Pogány and Saxena [11]. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classifications: Primary 33C20, 33C60; Secondary 40G99, 44A20.

[11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] and Srivastava and Tomovski [23]. Inequalities and integral representations for Mathieu–type series are discussed by Cerone and Lenard [1], Pogány and Tomovski [17], Srivastava and Tomovski [23] and others. The results obtained by the authors in this serve as the key formulæ for numerous potentially useful special functions of Science, Engineering and Technology scattered in the literature. In the study of fractional driftless Fokker–Planck equations with power law diffusion co- efficients, there arises naturally a special function, which is a special case of the ℵ, that is Aleph–function. The idea to introduce Aleph–function belongs to Südland et al. [24], how- ever the notation and complete definition is presented here in the following manner in terms of the Mellin–Barnes type integrals [also see 25]: ℵ[z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi,τi ;r [z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi;r � z ����� (a j,A j)1,n, . . . , [τ j(a j ,A j)]n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, . . . , [τ j(b j, B j)]m+1,qi � := 1 2πω ∫ L Ω m,n pi ,qi ,τi;r (s)z−s ds (1) for all z 6= 0, where ω= p−1 and Ω m,n pi ,qi ,τi ;r (s) = m∏ j=1 Γ(b j + B js) · n∏ j=1 Γ(1− a j − A js) r∑ i=1 τi pi∏ j=n+1 Γ(a ji + A jis) · qi∏ j=m+1 Γ(1− b ji − B jis) , (2) The integration path L = Liγ∞,γ ∈ R extends from γ− i∞ to γ+ i∞, and is such that the poles, assumed to be simple, of Γ(1− a j − A js), j = 1, n do not coincide with the poles of Γ(b j + B js), j = 1, m. The parameters pi ,qi are non–negative integers satisfying 0 ≤ n ≤ pi , 1 ≤ m ≤ qi,τi > 0 for i = 1, r. The parameters A j, B j ,A ji , B ji > 0 and a j, b j ,A ji , b ji ∈ C. The empty product in (2) is interpreted as unity. The existence conditions for the defining integral (1) are given below: ϕℓ > 0, |arg(z)| < π 2 ϕℓ ℓ = 1, r; (3) ϕℓ ≥ 0, |arg(z)| < π 2 ϕℓ and ℜ{ζℓ}+ 1< 0 , (4) where ϕℓ = n∑ j=1 A j + m∑ j=1 B j −τℓ � pℓ∑ j=n+1 A jℓ+ qℓ∑ j=m+1 B jℓ � (5) ζℓ = m∑ j=1 b j − n∑ j=1 a j +τℓ � qℓ∑ j=m+1 b jℓ− pℓ∑ j=n+1 a jℓ � + 1 2 � pℓ− qℓ � ℓ= 1, r. (6) R. Saxena, T. Pogány / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 980-988 982 Remark 1. If the sum in the denominator of (2) can be simplified in terms of a polynomial in s, the factors of this polynomial can be expressed by a fraction of Euler’s Gamma function leading to an H–function instead, see [25, p. 325]. Remark 2. It is observed that there is no historical name given to (1), compared to [24]. The Mellin transform of this function is the coefficient of z−s in the integrand of (1). There are no references containing tables of ℵ–functions in the literature. For τ1 = τ2 = . . . = τr = 1, in (1) the definition of following I–function [21] is recovered: I[z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi ,1;r[z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi ,1;r � z ����� (a j ,A j)1,n, . . . , (a j ,A j)n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, . . . , (b j, B j)m+1,qi � := 1 2πω ∫ L Ω m,n pi ,qi ,1;r(s)z −s ds, (7) where Ω m,n pi ,qi ,1;r(s) is defined in (2). The existence conditions for the integral in (7) are the same as given in (3)–(6) with τi = 1, i = 1, r. If we further set r = 1, then (7) reduces to the familiar H–function given e.g. in the monograph [7]: Hm,n p,q [z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi ,1;1[z] = ℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi;1 � z ����� (ap,Ap) (bq, Bq) � := 1 2πω ∫ L Ω m,n pi ,qi ,1;1(s)z −s ds , (8) where the kernel Ω m,n pi ,qi ,1;1(s) is given in (2), which itself is a generalization of Meijer’s G– function [2, p. 207] to which it reduces for A1 = . . . = Ap = 1 = B1 = . . . = Bq. A detailed and comprehensive account of the H–function is available from the monographs written by Mathai and Saxena [6], Srivastava et al. [22], Kilbas and Saigo [4] and Mathai et al. [7]. In what follows, the Aleph function will be represented by the contracted notations ℵ m,n pi ,qi,τi ;r [z] or ℵ[z]. Now, consider the Mathieu–type a–series Θλ,µ and its alternating variant eΘλ,µ, defined by Θλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o := ∞∑ j=1 ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x c j ��� (α,β), (a j,A j)1,n, (a ji,A ji)n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, (b ji, B ji)m+1,qi i cλ j (c j + x)µ , (9) eΘλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o := ∞∑ j=1 (−1) j−1ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x c j ��� (α,β), (a j,A j)1,n, (a ji,A ji)n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, (b ji, B ji)m+1,qi i cλ j (c j + x)µ (10) where the convention is followed that the positive sequence c = � cn � n∈N monotonously in- creases and tends to infinity; equivalently c : 0< c1 < c2 < . . . < cn ↑ ∞ .

Integral Representations of Θλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o and eΘλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o The Laplace transform of the ℵ–function can be established in the following form ∫ ∞ 0 xλ−1e−sxℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi ;r � ηxρ � dx = s−λℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h η sρ ��� (1−λ,ρ), (a j,A j)1,n, [τi(a ji,A ji)]n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, [τi(b ji, B ji)]m+1,qi i , (12) where λ, s,η ∈ C; ℜ{s} > 0, ρ > 0,τi > 0, i = 1, r, and ℜ{λ}+ρ min 1≤ j≤m ℜ{b j} B j > 0, |arg(η)| < π 2 min 1≤ℓ≤r � ζℓ � ; (13) the parameter ζℓ is defined in (6). The formula (12) can be easily established with the help of the definition (2) of ℵ–function and using gamma function formula Γ(µ)ζ−µ = ∫ ∞ 0 xµ−1 e−ζxdx min � ℜ{µ},ℜ{ζ} � > 0 . Theorem 1. Let λ > 0,µ > 0, x > 0,α = 1− λ,β = ρ and let the sequence c satisfies (11). Then there hold the following results: Θλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o = I ℵ c (λ+ 1,µ) +µIℵc (λ,µ+ 1) (14) eΘλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o = eIℵc (λ+ 1,µ) +µeIℵc (λ,µ+ 1) , (15) where I ℵ c (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 � c−1(t) � tu(t + x)v ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi;r h x t ; u i dt , (16) eIℵc (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 sin2 �π 2 [c−1(t)] � tu(t + x)v ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x t ; u i dt, (17) and ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x t ; u i := ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x t ��� (1− u, 1), (a j ,A j)1,n, [τi(a ji,A ji)]n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, [τi(b ji, B ji)]m+1,qi i . where c : R+ 7→ R+ is an increasing function such that c(x) �� x∈N = c, c−1(x) is the inverse of c(x), � c−1(x) � stands for the integer part of the quantity c−1(x). R. Saxena, T. Pogány / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 980-988 984 Proof. Taking ζ= cn+ x in (14), setting s = c j; ρ = 1,η = x and inserting α= 1−λ,β = 1 in (12), we find that Θλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o = ∞∑ j=1 ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x c j ��� (1−λ, 1), (a j,A j)1,n, [τi(a ji,A ji)]n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, [τi(b ji, B ji)]m+1,qi i cλ j (c j + x)µ = 1 Γ(µ) ∞∑ j=1 ∫ ∞ 0 sλ−1e−c jsℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi;r [xs]ds ∫ ∞ 0 tµ−1 e−(c j+x)t dt = 1 Γ(µ) ∫ ∞ 0 ∫ ∞ 0 � ∞∑ j=1 e−c j(s+t) � sλ−1 tµ−1e−x tℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi ;r [xs]ds dt , (18) where, by convergence reasons µ > 0 is already assumed. Following the lines of the use of Dirichlet series technique used in earlier papers by Pogány and coworkers [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16], by means of (12) we conclude Θλ,µ n ℵ;c, x o = 1 Γ(µ) ∫ ∞ 0 ∫ ∞ 0 ∫ ∞ c1 sλ tµ−1e−(y+x)t−ysℵ m,n pi ,qi,τi ;r [xs] � c−1(y) � dsdtdy + 1 Γ(µ) ∫ ∞ 0 ∫ ∞ 0 ∫ ∞ c1 sλ−1 tµe−(y+x)t−ysℵ m,n pi ,qi ,τi ;r [xs] � c−1(y) � dsdtdy := Js + Jt . Introducing the auxiliary integral I ℵ c (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 � c−1(t) � tu(t + x)v ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,τi ;r h x t ; u i dt , it readily follows that Js = I ℵ c (λ+ 1,µ) and Jt = µ · Iℵc (λ,µ+ 1) . This finishes the proof of (16). The proof of (17) is similar to that of (16), if we employ the definition of the new alter- nating inner Dirichlet series eDc(·) [14, p. 77, Section 4] given below: eDc(s+ t) = ∞∑ j=1 (−1) j−1e−c j(s+t) = (s+ t) ∫ ∞ c1 e−(s+t)x sin2 �π 2 � c−1(x) �� dx . (19) The application of (19) completes the proof of (17). 3. Special Cases As Aleph function is the most generalized special function, numerous special cases with potentially useful transcendental functions, such Mittag–Leffler functions, Bessel functions, R. Saxena, T. Pogány / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 980-988 985 Whittaker functions, hypergeometric functions, generalized hypergeoemtric pFq function, Mei- jer’s G–function, Fox–Wright Ψ function and Fox H–function and their special cases can be deduced by making suitable changes in the parameters. But, for the sake of brevity, some interesting special cases of Theorem 1 are given below. Corollary 1. [12, Theorem] Let λ,µ, x > 0,α = 1− λ,β = ρ,τ1 = . . . = τr = 1, and let the sequence c satisfies (11). Then the Aleph function reduces to an I–function and there holds the following result Θλ,µ n I m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,r ;c, x o = I I c(λ+ 1,µ)+µII c(λ,µ+ 1) (20) eΘλ,µ n I m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,r ;c, x o = eII c(λ+ 1,µ)+µeII c(λ,µ+ 1) , (21) where I I c(u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 � c−1(t) � tu(t + x)v I m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,r h x t ; u i dt , (22) eII c(u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 sin2 �π 2 [c−1(t)] � tu(t + x)v I m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,r h x t ; u i dt, (23) with I m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,r h x t ; u i := ℵ m,n+1 pi+1,qi ,1;r h x t ��� (1− u, 1), (a j,A j)1,n, (a ji,A ji)n+1,pi (b j, B j)1,m, (b ji, B ji)m+1,qi i . Here c remains the same as above in Theorem 1. When r = 1,τ1 = 1, the Aleph function reduces to Fox’s H–function and Theorem 1 gives rise to the following result given by Pogány [10, Theorem]. Corollary 2. Let λ,µ, r > 0,α = 1− λ,β = ρ = 1 and let the sequence c satisfies the condition given in (11). Then we have Θλ,µ n H m,n+1 p+1,q ;c, x o = I H c (λ+ 1,µ) +µIH c (λ,µ+ 1) (24) eΘλ,µ n H m,n+1 p+1,q ;c, x o = eIH c (λ+ 1,µ) +µeIH c (λ,µ+ 1) , (25) where I H c (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 � c−1(t) � tu(t + x)v H m,n+1 p+1,q h x t ��� (1− u, 1), (a j,A j)1,n, (a j,A j)n+1,p (b j, B j)1,m, (b j, B j)m+1,q i dt (26) eIH c (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 sin2 �π 2 [c−1(t) ] � tu(t + x)v H m,n+1 p+1,q h x t ��� (1− u, 1), (a j ,A j)1,n, (a j,A j)n+1,p (b j, B j)1,m, (b j, B j)m+1,q i dt. (27) The Fox–Wright function pΨq is defined [7, p. 23] by the power series in the form pΨq h (ap,αp) (bq,βq) ��� z i := ∞∑ n=0 ∏p j=1 Γ � a j + A jn � ∏q j=1 Γ � b j + B jn � zn n! . (28) R. Saxena, T. Pogány / Eur. J. Pure Appl. Math, 3 (2010), 980-988 986 with a j , b j ∈ C, A j, B j ∈ R,Ai · B j 6= 0 (i = 1, p, j = 1,q) and ∑q j=1 B j − ∑p j=1 A j > −1. Now, employing the identity [7, p. 25] pΨq h (ap,Ap) (bq, Bq) ��� − z i = H 1,p p,q+1 h z ��� (1− ap,Ap) (0,1), (1− bq, Bq) i , (29) pointing out that we can express it via the Aleph function as pΨq h (ap,Ap) (bq, Bq) ��� − z i = ℵ 1,p p,q+1,1;1 h z ��� (1− ap,Ap) (0,1), (1− bq, Bq) i , it is not difficult to deduce the corresponding results for Fox–Wright function. Let us define Θλ,µ � p+1Ψq;c, x := ∞∑ j=1 p+1Ψq h (α,β), (ap,Ap) (bq, Bq) ��� − x c j i cλ j (c j + x)µ , (30) and eΘλ,µ � p+1Ψq;c, x := ∞∑ j=1 (−1) j−1 p+1Ψq h (α,β), (ap,Ap) (bq, Bq) ��� − x c j i cλ j (c j + x)µ . (31) We then obtain the following Corollary 3. Let λ 6∈ N,µ > 0, r > 0, (α,β) = (1−λ, 1), (bq,βq) = (1,1) and let the sequence c satisfies (11). Then we have Θλ,µ � p+1Ψq;c, r = I Ψ c (λ+ 1,µ) +µIΨc (λ,µ+ 1) (32) eΘλ,µ � p+1Ψq;c, r = eIΨc (λ+ 1,µ) +µeIΨc (λ,µ+ 1) , (33) where I Ψ c (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 � c−1(t) � tu(t + x)v · p+1Ψq h (1− u, 1), (ap,Ap) (1,1), (bq−1, Bq−1) ��� − x t i dt (34) and eIΨc (u, v) := ∫ ∞ c1 sin2 �π 2 [c−1(t) ] � tu(t + x)v · p+1Ψq h (1− u, 1), (ap,Ap) (1,1), (bq−1, Bq−1) ��� − x t i dt . (35) Remark 3. Finally, it is interesting to observe that by virtue of the relation Eα,β(z) = H 1,1 1,2 h − z ��� (0,1) (0,1), (1− β ,α) i = ℵ 1,1 1,2,1;1 h − z ��� (0,1) (0,1), (1− β ,α) i , where Eα,β(z) is the Mittag–Leffler function [Chapter 18 3] and [p. 80 5], defined by Eα,β(z) = ∞∑ n=1 zn Γ(αn+ β) , where α,β ∈ C;ℜ{α},ℜ{β} > 0, the similar type of results for the Mittag–Leffler function can be deduced from Corollary 2.
