Abstract

Fractional relaxation equations, as well as relaxation functions time-changed by independent stochastic processes have been widely studied (see, for example, \cite{MAI}, \cite{STAW} and \cite{GAR}). We start here by proving that the upper-incomplete Gamma function satisfies the tempered-relaxation equation (of index ρ(0,1)\rho \in (0,1)); thanks to this explicit form of the solution, we can then derive its spectral distribution, which extends the stable law. Accordingly, we define a new class of selfsimilar processes (by means of the nn-times Laplace transform of its density) which is indexed by the parameter ρ\rho : in the special case where ρ=1\rho =1, it reduces to the stable subordinator. Therefore the parameter ρ\rho can be seen as a measure of the local deviation from the temporal dependence structure displayed in the standard stable case.
