ABSTRACT
The aim of this paper is to establish four theorems under the fractional q-calculus operators that provide an image formula for the q-analogue of generalized Mittag–Leffler function. Due to the general nature of the q-calculus operators and the generalized q-Mittag–Leffler function, a number of results involving special functions that can be achieved only by making appropriate values for the parameters.
MATHEMATICS SUBJECT CLASSIFICATION:
1. Introduction
From the perspective of course of the utility of these results in the evaluation of q-integrals, and the solution of q-differential and q-integral equations, it is necessary to determine the fractional q-derivatives (and fractional q-integrals) of special functions of one and much more variables. The concept of q-analogue of generalized Mittag–Leffler (M-L) functions and the fractional q-calculus of one and much more variables has a broad variety of applications in diverse areas in physical, mathematical and technical sciences, namely, partition theory, number theory, lie theory, mixture analysis, quantum theory, etc. Influenced by these lines of study, a number of scholars have used the fractional q-calculus operators (see Al-Salam, Citation1966; Kalla et al., Citation2005; Purohit & Kalla, Citation2009; Purohit & Selvakumaran, Citation2015), q-integral inequalities (see Agarwal et al., Citation2014, Citation2015; Baleanu & Agarwal, Citation2014; Choi & Agarwal, Citation2014; Khan et al., Citation2022; Nosheen et al., Citation2023; Wang et al., Citation2022) and fractional quantum calculus and applications (see, for details, Al-Omari et al., Citation2018; Purohit & Ucar, Citation2018; Tariboon et al., Citation2015) in the theory of special functions in several variables.
In the theory of q-series (see Gasper & Rahman, Citation1990), and for a real or complex a, the q-shifted factorial is defined by
Gasper and Rahman (Citation1990) have given the definitions of q-gamma function and q-analogue of the beta function as
and
The q-analogue of power function is defined as
Also, Rajkovic et al. (Citation2007) defined a q-derivative of a function f(x) by
and
Recently, q-analogue of generalized M-L function was introduced by Nadeem et al. (Citation2020) for and in the following manner:
where is the q-analogue of beta function.
We list the relationships as special cases of q-analogue of the generalized M-L function with other special functions as shown below:
(1) | On setting in (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we obtain (1.7) (1.7) which is introduced by Sharma and Jain (Citation2014). | ||||
(2) | Again, on making ω = 1 in (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we obtain (1.8) (1.8) the function can be termed as q-analogue of the M-L function which is introduced by Mansour (Citation2009). | ||||
(3) | On letting in (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we obtain (1.9) (1.9) where the function can be termed as q-binomial function. |
In fractional calculus, the classical M-L function is now regarded as the queen function by some mathematicians. The M-L function has drawn the attention of numerous researchers in the field of fractional calculus and its applications because it can solve some issues expressed in terms of fractional order differential, difference and integral equations.
Motivated by these avenues of applications, a massive amount of research in the theory of M-L functions has been studied in the literature. For a detailed account of the various generalizations, properties and applications of the M-L function, readers may refer to the literature (see Amsalu & Suthar, Citation2018; Din & Abidin, Citation2022; Nisar et al., Citation2020; Suthar et al., Citation2019, Citation2019, Citation2020; Uçar et al., Citation2021; Yavuz, Citation2022; Yavuz & Abdeljawad, Citation2020). Our goal in this study is to prove four theorems under the fractional q-calculus operators, which give an image formula for the extended M-L function’s q-analogue. Before the conclusion, special cases of the main results are also presented.
2. Fractional q-calculus approach
In this section, first, we would like to provide some definitions of these q-fractional operators.
As a well-known, left-sided Riemann–Liouville (R-L) q-fractional operator introduced by Agarwal (Citation1969) when a = 0 and by Rajkovic et al. (Citation2009) for as follows:
Further, Mansour (Citation2016) defines a right-sided R-L q-fractional operator as
From Mansour (Citation2016), for ϑ > 0 and , the left- and right-sided R-L fractional q-derivatives of order ϑ are defined by
and
the left- and right-sided Caputo fractional q-derivatives of order ϑ are defined by
This section would establish the following fascinating outcomes in the form of theorems. Here, we present the generalized q-M-L function in view of the fractional q-integrals and fractional q-derivative representations.

Proof.
Let Ω1 be the left-hand side of (Equation2.6(2.6) (2.6) ), and using the generalized q-M-L function (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ) and the left-sided R-L q-fractional operator (Equation2.1(2.1) (2.1) ) on the left-hand side of (Equation2.6(2.6) (2.6) ), we have
Now, using EquationEquation (1.3)(1.3) (1.3) in the above expression reduces to
Substituting , then in (Equation2.7(2.7) (2.7) ), we get
Using EquationEquation (1.2)(1.2) (1.2) , we obtain
Interpreting the right-hand side of (Equation2.8(2.8) (2.8) ), with regard to description (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we conclude at outcome (Equation2.6(2.6) (2.6) ).

Now, using EquationEquation (1.3)(1.3) (1.3) in the above expression reduces to
Substituting , then in (Equation2.10(2.10) (2.10) ), we get
Replacing in (Equation2.11(2.11) (2.11) ), we get
Using EquationEquations (1.2)(1.2) (1.2) in (Equation2.12(2.12) (2.12) ), we get
Interpreting the right-hand side of (Equation2.13(2.13) (2.13) ), with regard to description (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we conclude at result (Equation2.9(2.9) (2.9) ).
Theorem 2.3.

On the left-hand side of (Equation2.14(2.14) (2.14) ), let Ω3, and using (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ) and (Equation2.3(2.3) (2.3) ), we have
Now, using EquationEquation (1.3)(1.3) (1.3) in the above expression reduces to
Substituting , then in (Equation2.15(2.15) (2.15) ), we get
Using EquationEquation (1.2)(1.2) (1.2) on the above expression, we obtain
Implementing EquationEquation (1.2)(1.2) (1.2) and making a simple calculation, we arrive at result (Equation2.14(2.14) (2.14) ).
Theorem 2.4.

Now, using EquationEquation (1.3)(1.3) (1.3) in the above expression reduces to
Substituting , then in (Equation2.18(2.18) (2.18) ), we get
Replacing in (Equation2.19(2.19) (2.19) ), we get
Using EquationEquation (1.2)(1.2) (1.2) in (Equation2.12(2.12) (2.12) ), we get
Also using Equation (Equation1.4(1.4) (1.4) ), we get
On simplification of the right-hand side of (Equation2.22(2.22) (2.22) ), with regard to description (Equation1.6(1.6) (1.6) ), we conclude at the result (Equation2.17(2.17) (2.17) ).
3. Special cases
With the aid of the results developed in the prior segment, this section would establish the following fascinating outcomes in the form of corollaries. As these findings are direct implications of EquationEquations (1.7)(1.7) (1.7) and (Equation1.8(1.8) (1.8) ) and theorems 2.1–2.4, they are provided without evidence here.
