ABSTRACT
In the present work, a unification of certain functions of mathematical physics is proposed and its properties are studied. The proposed function unifies Lommel function, Struve function, the Bessel-Maitland function and its generalization, Dotsenko function, generalized Mittag-Leffler function etc. The properties include absolute and uniform convergence, differential recurrence relation, integral representations in the form of Euler-Beta transform, Mellin-Barnes transform, Laplace transform and Whittaker transform. The special cases namely the generalized hypergeometric function, generalized Laguerre polynomial, Fox H-function etc. are also obtained.
1. Introduction
In the present work, we propose an extension of a generalization of the Mittag-Leffler function due to A. K. Shukla and J. C. Prajapati [1], defined as
(1.1)
where; and . This is an entire function of order if and absolutely convergent in if. In fact (1.1) contains the -Mittag-Leffler function [2], - the generalized Mittag-Leffler function [3] and the function due to Prabhakar [4].
Gorenflo et al. [5], Saigo and Kilbas [6] studied several interesting properties of these functions.
Another generalization of Mittag-leffler function due to T. O. Salim [7], given by
(1.1’)
where and
.
We state below the extended version in the form:
(1.2)
where, ,. The function defined by (1.2) reduces to the one in (1.1) and (1.1’) if, , , and, , , , respectively.
It is noteworthy that the function in (1.2), besides containing the generalizations of the Mittag-Leffler function, also includes certain functions belonging to the family of Bessel function. To see this, take, , , , , , and replaced z by in (1.2), then we find the well known Bessel function [8]:
When, , , , and z is replaced by then we get the Bessel Maitland Function [8] given by For,
, , , , , ,
, , , and z is replaced by, we obtain the Generalized Bessel Maitland function [8]:
The Dotsenko Function [8]:

The Lommel Function defined by [9]:
