The Fox-Wright functions and Laguerre multiplier sequences

Linear operators which (1) preserve the reality of zeros of polynomials having only real zeros and (2) map stable polynomials into stable polynomials are investigated using recently established results concerning the zeros of certain Fox-Wright functions and generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. The paper includes several open problems and questions.     

On some expansions for the Euler Gamma function and the Riemann Zeta function

In the present paper we introduce some expansions which use the falling factorials for the Euler Gamma function and the Riemann Zeta function. In the proofs we use the Faá di Bruno formula, Bell polynomials, potential polynomials, Mittag-Leffler polynomials, derivative polynomials and special numbers (Eulerian numbers and Stirling numbers of both kinds). We investigate the rate of convergence of the series and give some numerical examples.     

On the Local Time of Random Walks Associated with Gegenbauer Polynomials

The local time of random walks associated with Gegenbauer polynomials \(P_{n}^{(\alpha)}(x)\), x∈[?1,1], is studied in the recurrent case: \(\alpha\in [-\frac{1}{2},0]\). When α is nonzero, the limit distribution is given in terms of a Mittag-Leffler distribution. The proof is based on a local limit theorem for the random walk associated with Gegenbauer polynomials. As a by-product, we derive the limit distribution of the local time of some particular birth-and-death Markov chains on ?.     

Numerical solution of two-dimensional time fractional cable equation with Mittag-Leffler kernel

The main motive of this article is to study the recently developed Atangana-Baleanu Caputo (ABC) fractional operator that is obtained by replacing the classical singular kernel by Mittag-Leffler kernel in the definition of the fractional differential operator. We investigate a novel numerical method for the nonlinear two-dimensional cable equation in which time-fractional derivative is of Mittag-Leffler kernel type. First, we derive an approximation formula of the fractional-order ABC derivative of a function t^k using a numerical integration scheme. Using this approximation formula and some properties of shifted Legendre polynomials, we derived the operational matrix of ABC derivative. In the author of knowledge, this operational matrix of ABC derivative is derived the first time. We have shown the efficiency of this newly derived operational matrix by taking one example. Then we solved a new class of fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) by the implementation of this ABC operational matrix. The two-dimensional model of the time-fractional model of the cable equation is solved and investigated by this method. We have shown the effectiveness and validity of our proposed method by giving the solution of some numerical examples of the two-dimensional fractional cable equation. We compare our obtained numerical results with the analytical results, and we conclude that our proposed numerical method is feasible and the accuracy can be seen by error tables. We see that the accuracy is so good. This method will be very useful to investigate a different type of model that have Mittag-Leffler fractional derivative.     

Mittag-Leffler vector random fields with Mittag-Leffler direct and cross covariance functions

In terms of the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function with specified parameters, this paper introduces the Mittag-Leffler vector random field through its finite-dimensional characteristic functions, which is essentially an elliptically contoured one and reduces to a Gaussian one when the two parameters of the Mittag-Leffler function equal 1. Having second-order moments, a Mittag-Leffler vector random field is characterized by its mean function and its covariance matrix function, just like a Gaussian one. In particular, we construct direct and cross covariances of Mittag-Leffler type for such vector random fields.     

Certain geometric properties of the Mittag-Leffler functions

In the present investigation, the Mittag-Leffler functions with their normalization are considered. Several sufficient conditions are obtained so that the Mittag-Leffler functions have certain geometric properties including univalency, starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity in the open unit disk. Partial sums of Mittag-Leffler functions are also studied. The results obtained are new and their usefulness is depicted by deducing several interesting corollaries and examples.     

Mathematicians and World War I: The international diplomacy of G. H. Hardy and Gösta Mittag-Leffler as reflected in their personal correspondence

Gösta Mittag-Leffler was the founding editor of the journal Acta Mathematica. In the early 1870's it was meant, in part, to bring the mathematicians of Germany and France together in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War, and the political neutrality of Sweden made it possible for Mittag-Leffler to realize this goal by publishing articles in German and French, side by side. Even before the end of the First World War, Mittag-Leffler again saw his role as mediator, and began to work for a reconciliation between German and Allied mathematicians through the auspices of his journal. Similarly, G. H. Hardy was particularly concerned about the reluctance of many scientists in England to attempt any sort of rapprochement with the Central European countries and he sought to do all he could to bring English and German mathematicians together after the War. His correspondence with Mittag-Leffler survives in the Archives of the Institut Mittag-Leffler, Djursholm, Sweden, and serves as the basis for this article, which focuses upon the attempts of Mittag-Leffler to reconcile mathematicians after the War, and to renew international cooperation.     

Efficient Mittag-Leffler Collocation Method for Solving Linear and Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

In this paper, a new approximation method for fractional differential equations based on Mittag-Leffler function is developed. Finite Mittag-Leffler function and its fractional-order derivatives are investigated. An efficient technique for solving linear and nonlinear fractional order differential equations is developed. The proposed method combines Mittag-Leffler collocation method and optimization technique. Error estimation of the approximation is stated and proved. We present numerical results and comparisons of previous treatments to demonstrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method. Making use of small number of unknowns, the resulting solution converges to the exact one in the linear case and it has a very small error in the nonlinear case.     

On a sum with a three-parameter Mittag-Leffler function

The bounding of the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function is discussed. As a particular consequence, we present two proofs for a sum involving a three-parameter Mittag-Leffler function. This sum can be seen as a generalization of a relation involving a product of two exponential functions. Particular cases are recovered.     

The Mittag-Leffler Theorem: The origin,evolution, and reception of a mathematical result, 1876–1884

The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846–1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, often touted as the first international journal of mathematics. A “post-doctoral” student in Paris and Berlin between 1873 and 1876, Mittag-Leffler built on Karl Weierstrass? work by proving the Mittag-Leffler Theorem, which states that a function of rational character (i.e. a meromorphic function) is specified by its poles, their multiplicities, and the coefficients in the principal part of its Laurent expansion.     

$(p,q)$-Analogue of Mittag-Leffler Function with $(p,q)$-Laplace Transform

The aim of this paper is to define $(p, q)$-analogue of Mittag-Leffler Function, by using $(p, q)$-Gamma function. Some transformation formulae are also derived by using the $(p, q)$-derivative. The $(p, q)$-analogue for this function provides elegant generalization of $q$-analogue of Mittag-Leffler function in connection with $q$-calculus. Moreover, the $(p, q)$-Laplace Transform of the Mittag-Leffler function has been obtained. Some special cases have also been discussed.     

Mittag-Leffler stability of fractional-order Hopfield neural networks

Fractional-order Hopfield neural networks are often used to model how interacting neurons process information. To show reliability of the processed information, it is needed to perform stability analysis of these systems. Here, we perform Mittag-Leffler stability analysis for them. For this, we extend the second method of Lyapunov in the fractional-order case and establish a useful inequality that can be effectively used to this analysis. Importantly, these general results can help construct Lyapunov functions used to Mittag-Leffler stability analysis of fractional-order Hopfield neural networks. As a result, a set of sufficient conditions is derived to guarantee this stability. In addition, the general results can be easily used to the establishment of stability conditions for achieving complete and quasi synchronization in the coupling case of these networks with constant or time-dependent external inputs. Finally, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of our theoretical results.     

Third-Order Differential Subordinations for Analytic Functions Associated with Generalized Mittag-Leffler Functions

In this paper, third-order differential subordination results are obtained for analytic functions associated with an operator defined by the normalized form of the generalized Mittag-Leffler functions. Some particular cases involving Mittag-Leffler and hyperbolic functions are also considered.     

Mittag-leffler process

First-order autoregressive Mittag-Leffler process is studied. Methods for generating dependent (first-order autoregressive Markovian) sequences of random variables with Mittag-Leffier marginal distributions are discussed. Comparison of the first-order autoregressive Mittag-Leffler process with the first-order autoregressive exponential process of Gaver and Lewis [1] is done. As an application, the first-order autoregressive Mittag-Leffier process is fitted to weakly stream flows of the Kallada River in Kerala, India.     

On M-Wright transforms and time-fractional diffusion equations

In this paper, we consider the Mittag-Leffler operator as an analytical solution of time-fractional diffusion equation in the Caputo sense. This solution is presented by an integral representation in terms of the M-Wright functions and the exponential operators. Further, we study the Mittag-Leffler operators associated with the Legendre and Bessel diffusion equations. Finally, we extend the obtained integral representation for the time-fractional diffusion equation of distributed order.     

On One Class of Operators Associated with Differential Equations of Fractional Order

We carry out spectral analysis of one class of integral operators associated with fractional order differential equations applicable in mechanics. We establish connection between the eigenvalues of these operators and the zeros of Mittag-Leffler type functions. We give sufficient conditions for complete nonselfadjointness.     

Laplace变换法求解分数阶差分方程（英文）

In this paper, we discuss the Laplace transform of the Caputo fractional difference and the fractional discrete Mittag-Leffler functions. On these bases, linear and nonlinear fractional initial value problems are solved by the Laplace transform method.     

Positive solution of nonlinear fractional differential equations with Caputo-like counterpart hyper-Bessel operators

By studying a weakly singular integral whose kernel involves Mittag-Leffler functions, we obtain some new Gronwall-type integral inequalities. Applying these inequalities and fixed point theorems, existence and uniqueness of positive solution of initial value problem to nonlinear fractional differential equation with Caputo-like counterpart hyper-Bessel operators are established.     

Computing the volume,counting integral points,and exponential sums

We design polynomial-time algorithms for some particular cases of the volume computation problem and the integral points counting problem for convex polytopes. The basic idea is a reduction to the computation of certain exponential sums and integrals. We give elementary proofs of some known identities between these sums and integrals and prove some new identities. This research was partially supported by the Mittag-Leffler Institute.
