Certain Recurrence Relations of Two Parametric Mittag-Leffler Function and Their Application in Fractional Calculus

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop some new recurrence relations for the two parametric Mittag-Leffler function. Then, we consider some applications of those recurrence relations. Firstly, we express many of the two parametric Mittag-Leffler functions in terms of elementary functions by combining suitable pairings of certain specific instances of those recurrence relations. Secondly, by applying Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and differential operators to one of those recurrence relations, we establish four new relations among the Fox–Wright functions, certain particular cases of which exhibit four relations among the generalized hypergeometric functions. Finally, we raise several relevant issues for further research.
