On the density arising from the domain of attraction of an operator interpolating between sum and supremum: the \(\alpha\)-sun operator



Abstract: We explore the analytic properties of the density function h(x;gamma,alpha), xin(0,infty), gamma>0, 0<alpha<1 which arises from the domain of attraction problem for a statistic interpolating between the supremum and sum of random variables. The parameter alpha controls the interpolation between these two cases, while gamma parametrises the type of extreme value distribution from which the underlying random variables are drawn from. For alpha=0 the Fr'echet density applies, whereas for alpha=1 we identify a particular Fox H-function, which are a natural extension of hypergeometric functions into the realm of fractional calculus. In contrast for intermediate alpha an entirely new function appears, which is not one of the extensions to the hypergeometric function considered to date. We derive series, integral and continued fraction representations of this latter function.
