Extensions of Bicomplex Hypergeometric Functions and Riemann–Liouville Fractional Calculus in Bicomplex Numbers

Abstract

In this paper, we present novel advancements in the theory of bicomplex hypergeometric functions and their applications. We extend the hypergeometric function to bicomplex parameters, analyse its convergence region, and define its integral and derivative representations. Furthermore, we delve into the k-Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and derivative within a bicomplex operator, proving several significant theorems. The developed bicomplex hypergeometric functions and bicomplex fractional operators are demonstrated to have practical applications in various fields. This paper also highlights the essential concepts and properties of bicomplex numbers, special functions, and fractional calculus. Our results enhance the overall comprehension and possible applications of bicomplex numbers in mathematical analysis and applied sciences, providing a solid foundation for future research in this field.
