In this paper, we derive the cumulative distribution functions (CDF) and probability density functions (PDF) of the ratio and product of two independent Weibull and Lindley random variables. The moment generating functions (MGF) and the k-moment are driven from the ratio and product cases. In these derivations, we use some special functions, for instance, generalized hypergeometric functions, confluent hypergeometric functions, and the parabolic cylinder functions. Finally, we draw the PDF and CDF in many values of the parameters.

A theory of confluent hypergeometric functions is developed, based upon the methods described in the first three papers (I, II and III) of this series for replacing the divergent parts of asymptotic expansions by easily calculable series involving one or other of the four ‘ basic converging factors ’ which were investigated and tabulated in I. This theory is then illustrated by application to the special cases of exponential-type integrals, parabolic cylinder functions, modified Bessel functions, and ordinary Bessel functions.

In the present paper the disposition of the roots of the confluent hypergeometric functions — denoted by Wk, m(z) — as affected by changing the parameters k and m is investigated. The results are then shewn in a graphical form, and various typical illustrations of the functions are given. By giving special values to k and m it is then exemplified how the roots of other functions expressible in terms of Wk, m(z) may be studied. The zeros of the parabolic cylinder functions are then discussed. Some of the properties of an allied class of functions, denoted by ψn(z), are then given, and finally, it is shewn how the properties of Abel's function φm(z) may be obtained from results already given.

<abstract><p>In this paper, we investigate the relation of generalized Meijer $ G $-functions with some other special functions. We prove the generalized form of Laguerre polynomials, product of Laguerre polynomials with exponential functions, logarithmic functions in terms of generalized Meijer $ G $-functions. The generalized confluent hypergeometric functions and generalized tricomi confluent hypergeometric functions are also expressed in terms of the generalized Meijer $ G $-functions.</p></abstract>

AbstractWe show that the position vector of any 3-space curve lying on a sphere satisfies a third-order linear (vector) differential equation whose coefficients involve a single arbitrary function A(s). By making various identifications of A(s), we are led to nonlinear identities for a number of higher transcendental functions: Bessel functions, Horn functions, generalized hypergeometric functions, etc. These can be considered natural geometrical generalizations of sin2t + cos2t = 1. We conclude with some applications to the theory of splines.

1. The object of this paper is to evaluate an infinite integral, involving the product of H-functions, generalized hypergeometric functions and confluent hypergeometric functions by means of finite difference operators E. As the generalized hypergeometric function and H-function are of a very general nature, the integral, on specializing the parameters, leads to a generalization of many results some of which are known and others are believed to be new.

AbstractThis paper surveys one of the last contributions by the late Professor Anatoly Kilbas (1948–2010) and research made under his advisorship. We briefly describe the historical development of the theory of the discussed multi-parametric Mittag-Leffler functions as a class of the Wright generalized hypergeometric functions. The method of the Mellin-Barnes integral representations allows us to extend the considered functions to the case of arbitrary values of parameters. Thus, the extended Mittag-Leffler-type functions appear. The properties of these special functions and their relations to the fractional calculus are considered. Our results are based mainly on the properties of the Fox H-functions, as one of the widest class of special functions.

This paper continues an investigation of the time-dependent behavior of regulated or reflecting Brownian motion (RBM). Part I focused on RBM starting at the origin; Part II focuses on RBM starting at a fixed positive state. The first two moments of RBM as functions of time are analyzed by representing them as the difference of two increasing functions, one of which is the moment function starting at the origin studied in Part I. By appropriate normalization, the two monotone components can be converted into cumulative distribution functions that can be analyzed probabilistically, e.g., their moments can be calculated. Simple approximations are then developed by fitting convenient distributions to these moments. Overall, the analysis yields a better understanding of the way RBM and related stochastic flow systems approach steady state.
