We consider two operations on the Mittag-Leffler function which cancel the exponential term in the expansion at infinity, and generate a completely monotonic function. The first one is the action of a certain differential-difference…
We analyse some peculiar properties of the function of the Mittag-Leffler (M-L) type, $e_\alpha(t):= E_\alpha(-t^\alpha)$ for $0 <\alpha < 1$ and $t > 0$, which is known to be completely monotone (CM) with a non negative spectrum of…
The formal term-by-term differentiation with respect to parameters is demonstrated to be legitimate for the Mittag-Leffler type functions. The justification of differentiation formulas is made by using the concept of the uniform…
