;
, for more detail (see Kilbas et al., 2006). Special cases exist for the generalized M-function. For instance, the M-function reduces in the M-series described by Sharma (2008) if we give
, for
, obtain well-known generalized hypergeometric function, when
, and
, get Mittag–Leffler function (MLF) (Mittag-Leffier, 1903) with one parameter, put
, obtain MLF with two parameter which is introduced by Wiman (1905), further, if we put
, then, Eq. (1.1) becomes to Generalized MLF which is introduced by Prabhakar (1971). There are many characteristics of M-Series (1.1) and the unique situations have investigated by Miller (1993), Saxena et al. (2009), Saigo and Kilbas (1998), Purohit et al. (2010), and Mishra et al. (2017). In order to solve differential and integral equations of fractional order, the generalized M-function is important.
The article highlights the significance of gamma and beta functions, along with their diverse forms. Lahcene (2021) provides properties of the extended gamma and beta function together with a closed-form representation of more integral functions. Additionally, some of the extended function’s relative behaviors, the special cases that arise from them when the parameters are fixed, the decomposition equation, the integrative representation of the suggested general formula, the frequency relationships, the correlations associated with the suggested formula, and the differentiation equation for these fundamental functions were examined. By investigating, integral representations, the author additionally looked into the basic decomposition equation, the differentiation formula, recurrence relations, convolutions, and the asymptotic behavior of a few particular examples. Applications of these functions to the infinite series and the complex of definite integrals of related fundamental functions have been described, as well as the assessment of various reversible Laplace transforms. Furthermore, by using the weights offered by extended gamma functions, Lahcene et al. (2022) provided rich theoretical and applied behaviors in models of special functions, particularly expansion-generalized gamma delta, and techniques to more thoroughly generalize integrals and derivatives. In order to establish a connection between all of the fundamental modifications that had previously been discovered, the researcher (Palsaniya et al., 2021) summarized the modifications that emerged on the most significant special functions pertaining to the extended generalized gamma function that overlapped it in relationship to the fractional calculus (FC), and additional findings regarding the generalized gamma function that occurred in diffraction theory, as well as some special functions associated with fractional functions. The incomplete function of the beta and gamma functions, the H-function, and their generalization have been the focus of some researchers’ recent work; for more information, see the article (Bhatter et al., 2023; Meena et al., 2020, 2022).
Inspired by the depiction of a series mentioned above, which is found in Eq. (1.1), as well as its significance and uses in applied math, we have determined the
-analogue of generalized M-series and obtained several fundamental properties. For these functions, a few
-integral formulations are developed. In the last section, unique cases of the main findings are presented.
In this work, We employ some definitions provided in the following section.
