Some Volterra-type fractional integro-differential equations with a multivariable confluent hypergeometric function as their kernel (Q2583051)

The solution is obtained for an integro-differential equation of Volterra type, of the second kind, with fractional integral operators, and involving the Lauricella function \(\Phi_2(n)\) in the kernel. The Laplace transformation provides the method of solution. The resolvent kernel, and other functions which appear as a result of the initial conditions, are given in terms of functions represented by infinite series of \(\Phi_2^{(n)}\) functions. The Kummer function \(_1F_1\) provides an interesting special case which is treated as a corollary.
