A \(q\)-analogue of generalized Mittag-Leffler function (Q2906979)

A \(q\)-analogue of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function is introduced and the convergence of this series is proved for certain restrictions of the parameters. The \(q\)-gamma function is defined and is used for the proof of a Mellin-Barnes contour integral representation of the above Mittag-Leffler function. Formulas for the \(q\)-derivative and \(q\)-integral as well as \(q\)-Laplace transform, \(q\)-Mellin transform and images under Kober fractional \(q\)-integral and \(q\)-derivative operators for the generalized Mittag-Leffler function are established.NEWLINENEWLINEReviewer's remark: The definition of \(\Gamma_q\) is usually split into two cases depending on the absolute value of \(q\). A branch of the logarithm should be chosen. It would be simpler to concentrate on the \(q\)-analogue of the ordinary Mittag-Leffler function at first. There is a more useful \(q\)-Laplace transform available in [\textit{M. Bohner} and \textit{G. S. Guseinov}, ``The h-Laplace and \(q\)-Laplace transforms'', J. Math. Anal. Appl. 365, No. 1, 75--92 (2010; Zbl 1188.44008)]. Formula 1.22 should read NEWLINE\[NEWLINE{}_qL_S\{f(z)\}=\frac{(-q;q)_{\infty}}{s}\sum_{j=0}^{\infty}\frac {q^jf(s^{-1}{q^j})}{(-q;q)_{j}}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEEditorial Remark: There are various formulae in the text which should be corrected similarly to Formula 1.22 above.
