Abstract:In this article, our main purpose is to establish a new extension of Mittag-Leffler function
1
by using the known extended beta functionBω(a,b;p)introduced in [1]. It led to a novel extension of
2
the applicability of Mittag-Leffler function that introduced them as distributions defined for a specific
3
set of functions. We also, investigate some of its important properties, namely recursion relation,
4
Mellin transform and differential formulas.

0. Introduction 9
Special functions are particular mathematical functions which are vital tools in higher calculus,
10
and generally play a key role in almost all branches of applied and pure mathematics. Many
11
well-known special functions are helpful to solve boundary value problems. In addition, solutions
12
of many differential equations come out in terms of special functions. The zoo of special function
13
contains Gamma function, Beta function, Hypergeometric function, Bessel’s function, Mittag-Leffler
14
function and many more. Special functions have been one of the most popular area of mathematics. In
15
17thcentury, beta function was investigated by Legendre and Euler. Beta function is commonly used
16
in probability theory, physics, engineering and other areas of mathematics.
17
Due to various implementations of generalized hypergeometric and Mittag-Leffler functions,
18
many researchers have made their contribution to extend it in various forms. Recently, many authors
19
[2–11] introduced several extensions of the well-known special functions due to their vital importance
20
in mathematical and functional analysis.
21
We start with the Gosta Mittag-Leffler functionEυ(z)[12] represented by the following series as:
22
Eυ(z) =
∞
∑
k=0zk
Γ(υk+1), (z,υ∈C;Re(υ)>0). (1) A more general form of Mittag-Leffler function given by Wiman [13] has the following form
23
Eυ,τ(z) =
∞
∑
k=0zk
Γ(υk+τ), (z,υ,τ∈C;Re(υ)>0,Re(τ)>0). (2)
Throughout this article, we will denote byC,N,Z−0, andR+the set of Complex numbers, natural
24
numbers, non-positive integers and positive real numbers respectively. Prabhakar [14] established the
25
generalization ofEυ,τ(z)in the following form
26
Eλ υ,τ(z) =
∞
∑
k=0(λ)kzk
Γ(υk+τ)k!, (z,υ,τ,λ∈C;Re(υ)>0,Re(τ)>0), (3)
where(λ)krepresents the Pochhammer symbol [15] defined as follows
27
(λ)k =
(
1; k=0,λ∈C− {0},
λ(λ+1)...(λ+k−1); k∈N,λ∈C = Γ(λ+k)
Γ(λ) λ∈C−Z
− 0.
Generalized Mittag-Leffler functionEλ,s
υ,τ(z)introduced by Prajapati and Shukla [16] has the following
28
form
29
Eλ,s υ,τ(z) =

where(λ)sk = Γ(Γλ(+λsk)) represents the generalized Pochhammer symbol. Ozarslan and Yilmaz [17]
30
extended the Mittag-Leffler functionEλ,s

is the extended Euler’s beta function [18] andB0(a,b) = B(a,b)whereB(a,b)is the classical beta
33
function [15]. An interesting extension of extended beta functionBp(a,b)introduced by Parmar et al.
34
[1] is of the following form

whereKω+1
2 is the modified Bessel’s function. Motivated essentially by the demonstrated potential 36
for applications of these generalized Mittag-Leffler functions in many diverse areas of mathematical,
37
physical, engineering and statistical sciences, we introduce here another interesting extension of the
38
extended Mittag-Leffler function as follows
39

where(z,υ,τ,λ,ω ∈C;Re(υ)>0,Re(τ) >0,Re(λ)>0;Re(p)>0;Re(s)> Re(λ) >0). For our 40
ambition, we remember the Fox- Wright functionrΨs[19]
41
rΨs(z) =

∑
k=0Γ(α1+τ1k)...Γ(αr+τrk)

whereτiandµm∈R+such that 42
1+ s
∑
m=1µm− r
∑

Further, making use of the extended Mittag-Leffler function (8). For each of these new extensions we
43
obtain various integral representations, properties and Mellin transforms, together with differentiation,
44
transformation, summation, generating function and asymptotic formulas.
45
1. Integral Formulae 46
In this section, we obtain several integral representations of Mittag-Leffler function (Eλ,s;ω υ,τ (z;p))
47
and consider certain special cases.
48
Theorem 1. Let s,υ,τ,λ,∈CwithRe(s)>Re(λ)>0,Re(υ)>0,Re(τ)>0,and letRe(p)>0.Then 49

Proof. By using equation (7) in (8), we get
50

B(λ,s−λ)Γ(υk+τ) zk k! #
.
After interchanging the order of integration and summation in the above equation which is justified
51
under the supposition of theorem (1) ,we obtain
52
Eλ,s;ω
υ,τ (z;p) =

With the help of equation (3) in above equation, we attain the desired consequence.
53
Now, we obtain two different integral formulae of the extended MLF (10) as corollaries.
54
Corollary 1. Let s,υ,τ,λ,∈CwithRe(s)>Re(˘)>0,Re(Æ)>0,Re(ø)>0and letRe(p)>0.Then 55

(11)
Proof. If we setu= 1+yy, in theorem (1),we acquire the consequence we wish to prove.
Corollary 2. Let s,υ,τ,λ,∈CwithRe(s)>Re(˘)>0,Re(Æ)>0,Re(ø)>0and letRe(p)>0.Then 57
