A class of positive Fox H-functions
Abstract
The Fox -function is a special function which is defined via the Mellin-Barnes integrals and produces, as particular cases, Wright generalized hypergeometric functions, MacRobert's -functions and Meijer -functions, to name but few. Various cases of non-negative Fox -functions are obtained in literature by relying on the properties of integral transforms and the complete monotonicity. In the present scenario, Fox -functions, which are positive on , are determined via the Mellin convolution products of finite combinations, with possible repetitions, of elementary functions. The chosen elementary functions are non-negative on and are defined via stretched exponential and power laws. Further forms of positive Fox -functions can be obtained from the former via elementary properties and integral transforms. As particular cases, we determine forms of Wright generalized hypergeometric functions, MacRobert's -functions and Meijer -functions which are positive on .
