On the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus, \(g\)-Jacobi functions and \(F\)-Gauss functions (Q884127): Difference between revisions

This paper gives some basic properties of the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus operators. A Rodrigues type representation formula for the classical Jacobi polynomials is generalized by means of the Riemann-Liouville fractional differentiation operator. The so-called \(g\)-Jacobi functions are introduced and their important properties studied. Besides the Gauss hypergeometric equation is also extended to fractional order and a new \(F\)-Gauss hypergeometric function is defined which forms a solution to the extended fractional differential equation.
