Mathematical Subject Classification 2010:26A33, 33E99, 15A52, 62E15.Mittag-Leffler functions and their generalizations appear in a large variety of problems in different areas. When we move from total differential equations to fractional equations Mittag-Leffler functions come in naturally. Fractional reaction-diffusion problems in physical sciences and general input-output models in other disciplines are some of the examples in this direction. Some basic properties of Mittag-Leffler functions are...

Using some results of the theory of functional equations we deduce some properties of the Jacobian sn z function which seem to be new. Some functional equations have also been found which are fulfilled by the sn z function which the author did not find in the literature.

For any odd prime p we obtain q-analogues of van Hamme’s and Rodriguez-Villegas’ supercongruences involving products of three binomial coefficients such as ${\sum }_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}{\left[\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{2k}{k}\right]}_{q²}^3\left(q^{2k}\right)/\left((-q²;q²){²}_k(-q;q){²}_{2k}²\right)\equiv 0\left(mod\left[p\right]²\right)$ for p≡ 3 (mod 4), ${\sum }_{k=0}^{(p-1)/2}{\left[\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{2k}{k}\right]}_{q³}\left({(q;q³)}_k{(q²;q³)}_k{q}^{3k}\right)\left({(q⁶;q⁶)}_k²\right)\equiv 0\left(mod\left[p\right]²\right)$ for p≡ 2 (mod 3), where $\left[p\right]=1+q+\cdots +q^{p-1}$ and $(a;q)ₙ=(1-a)(1-aq)\cdots (1-a{q}^{n-1})$. We also prove q-analogues of the Sun brothers’ generalizations of the above supercongruences. Our proofs are elementary in nature and use the theory of basic hypergeometric series and combinatorial q-binomial identities including a new q-Clausen type summation formula.

The Humbert matrix polynomials were first studied by Khammash and Shehata (2012). Our goal is to derive some of their basic relations involving the Humbert matrix polynomials and then study several generating matrix functions, hypergeometric matrix representations, matrix differential equation and expansions in series of some relatively more familiar matrix polynomials of Legendre, Gegenbauer, Hermite, Laguerre and modified Laguerre. Finally, some definitions of generalized Humbert matrix polynomials...

The classical Hermite-Hermite matrix polynomials for commutative matrices were first studied by Metwally et al. (2008). Our goal is to derive their basic properties including the orthogonality properties and Rodrigues formula. Furthermore, we define a new polynomial associated with the Hermite-Hermite matrix polynomials and establish the matrix differential equation associated with these polynomials. We give the addition theorems, multiplication theorems and summation formula for the Hermite-Hermite...
