Abstract The asymptotic expansions of the Wright functions of the second kind, introduced by Mainardi [see Appendix F of his book Fractional Calculus and Waves in Linear Viscoelasticity (2010)], F σ ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( − x ) n n ! Γ ( − n σ )   ,   M σ ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( − x ) n n ! Γ ( − n σ + 1 − σ )   ( 0 < σ < 1 ) $$F_\sigma(x)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-x)^n}{n! {\mathrm{\Gamma}}(-n\sigma)}~,\quad M_\sigma(x)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-x)^n}{n! {\mathrm{\Gamma}}(-n\sigma+1-\sigma)}\quad(0 \lt \sigma \lt 1) $$ for x → ± ∞ are presented. The situation corresponding to the limit σ → 1− is considered, where M σ (x) approaches the Dirac delta function δ(x − 1). Numerical results are given to demonstrate the accuracy of the expansions derived in the paper, together with graphical illustrations that reveal the transition to a Dirac delta function as σ → 1−.

AbstractThe article provides an historical survey of the early contributions on the applications of fractional calculus in linear viscoelasticty. The period under examination covers four decades, since 1930’s up to 1970’s, and authors are from both Western and Eastern countries. References to more recent contributions may be found in the bibliography of the author’s book.This paper reproduces, with Publisher’s permission, Section 3.5 of the book: F. Mainardi, Fractional Calculus and Waves in Linear Viscoelasticity, Imperial College Press-London and World Scienific-Singapore, 2010.

Recently Kiryakova and several other ones have investigated so-called multiindex Mittag-Leffler functions associated with fractional calculus. Here, in this paper, we aim at establishing a new fractional integration formula (of pathway type) involving the generalized multiindex Mittag-Leffler function E?,k[(?j,?j)m;z]. Some interesting special cases of our main result are also considered and shown to be connected with certain known ones.

AbstractIn this short note we present a new general definition of local fractional derivative, that depends on an unknown kernel. For some appropriate choices of the kernel we obtain some known cases. We establish a relation between this new concept and ordinary differentiation. Using such formula, most of the fundamental properties of the fractional derivative can be derived directly.
