Abstract
The aim of this paper is to prove some identities in the form of generalized Meijer -function. We prove the relation of some known functions such as exponential functions, sine and cosine functions, product of exponential and trigonometric functions, product of exponential and hyperbolic functions, binomial expansion, logarithmic function, and sine integral, with the generalized Meijer -function. We also prove the product of modified Bessel function of first and second kind in the form of generalized Meijer -function and solve an integral involving the product of modified Bessel functions.
1. Introduction
The elementary functions such as trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, hypergeometric functions, Bessel functions, Mittag-Leffler functions, and even binomial expansion are all special functions, which are widely applicable in many fields, especially in the field of sciences. The hypergeometric functions were firstly defined in series form by [1], also many properties were presented. Due to the wide range of applications, these hypergeometric functions have gained attention of the researchers. Almost all the elementary functions can be expressed in the form of hypergeometric functions.
The exponential functions, sine and cosine functions, and binomial expansion in the form of hypergeometric functions are given in [2, 3] as, respectively,where and
The Bessel function is defined [4, 5] as
Zhu et al. [6] estimated some weighted Simpson-like type integral inequalities, used them in some estimation type results to obtain the first-order differentiable functions, and applied them in some known special functions, modified Bessel function, -digamma function, etc. Sarivastava et al. [7] worked on Mittag-Leffler type functions and estimated the Faber polynomial coefficient of biclose-to-convex functions connected with the Borel distribution of the Mittag-Leffler type. They considered the Fekete-Szegö type inequalities for biclose-to-convex function and also presented several results and related consequences. The researchers [8–10] also worked on inequalities involving special functions and proved various applications.
The concept of -symbol was introduced by Diaz [11, 12]. The -theory gave boost to the field of special functions. The researchers [13–15] started to work on this particular -symbol and proved many properties and identities.
Diaz defined Pochhammer -symbol, gamma -function, and beta -function, for , respectively, as
The integral form of gamma -function is given as
Mubeen and Rehman [16] gave the -form of some elementary functions.
The Meijer -functions which are considered to be the general functions are the particular special functions which have gained the attention of many researchers [17–24]. Many special functions can be obtained by considering the specific variation of parameters of Meijer -function. Most of the special functions are -functions or can be expressed in the form of product of -functions with elementary functions [25–29].
Meijer -function is defined [30] aswhere is well known gamma function and .
The definitions of Meijer -function in the form of hypergeometric function are given [31], respectively, asfor or , andfor or and .
The relation of Meijer -functions with elementary functions as exponential, logarithmic, cosine, and Bessel functions is given by Santosh [32] aswhere and are the Bessel and modified Bessel functions, respectively.
Roach [33] gave the relation of hypergeometric functions with Meijer -function asand proved some results related to Meijer -function. Dyda et al. [34] worked on fractional Laplace operators and Meijer -functions and discussed some transformation properties of Meijer -function given aswhere and . Pishkoo and Darus [35] gave series representations of three basic univalent -functions by using Mellin-Barnes type contour integral representation.
In our current findings, we first define the generalized form of Meijer -function in the integral and hypergeometric forms and obtain some known special functions such as the Bessel function, exponential function, sine function, cosine function, sine and cosine hyperbolic functions, product of exponential and trigonometric functions, product of exponential and hyperbolic functions, binomial expansions, and logarithmic function by using the definitions of generalized Meijer -functions for different choice of parameters. We define the generalized form of modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind and prove results for the product of modified Bessel functions in the form of generalized Meijer -function.
