A new characteristic property of the Mittag-Leffler function $E_{\alpha }\left(a{t}^{\alpha }\right)$ with 1 < α < 2 is deduced. Motivated by this property, a new notion, named α-order cosine function, is developed. It is proved that an α-order cosine function is associated with a solution operator of an α-order abstract Cauchy problem. Consequently, an α-order abstract Cauchy problem is well-posed if and only if its coefficient operator generates a unique α-order cosine function.

2000 Math. Subject Classification: 33E12, 65D20, 33F05, 30E15The paper deals with analysis of several techniques and methods for the numerical evaluation of the Wright function. Even if the focus is mainly on the real arguments’ values, the methods introduced here can be used in the complex plane, too. The approaches presented in the paper include integral representations of the Wright function, its asymptotic expansions and summation of series. Because the Wright function depends on two parameters ...

2000 Math. Subject Classification: 26A33; 33E12, 33E30, 44A15, 45J05The Caputo fractional derivative is one of the most used definitions of a fractional derivative along with the Riemann-Liouville and the Grünwald- Letnikov ones. Whereas the Riemann-Liouville definition of a fractional derivative is usually employed in mathematical texts and not so frequently in applications, and the Grünwald-Letnikov definition – for numerical approximation of both Caputo and Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives,...

MSC 2010: 33E12, 30A10, 30D15, 30E15We consider some families of 3-index generalizations of the classical Mittag-Le²er functions and study the behaviour of these functions in domains of the complex plane. First, some inequalities in the complex plane and on its compact subsets are obtained. We also prove an asymptotic formula for the case of "large" values of the indices of these functions. Similar results have also been obtained by the author for the classical Bessel functions and their Wright's...

The (modified) two-parametric Mittag-Leffler function plays an essential role in solving the so-called fractional differential equations. Its asymptotics is known (at least for a subset of its domain and special choices of the parameters). The aim of the paper is to introduce a discrete analogue of this function as a solution of a certain two-term linear fractional difference equation (involving both the Riemann-Liouville as well as the Caputo fractional $h$-difference operators) and describe its...

MSC 2010: 26A33, 33E12, 33C60, 35R11In this paper we derive an analytic solution for the fractional Helmholtz equation in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. The solutions to the fractional Poisson and the Laplace equations of the same kind are obtained, again represented by means of the Mittag-Leffler function. In all three cases the solutions are represented also in terms of Fox's H-function.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 33D60, 33E12, 26A33Based on the fractional q–integral with the parametric lower limit of integration, we consider the fractional q–derivative of Caputo type. Especially, its applications to q-exponential functions allow us to introduce q–analogues of the Mittag–Leffler function. Vice versa, those functions can be used for defining generalized operators in fractional q–calculus.
