MODIFIED TYPE-1 DIRICHLET AVERAGES OF THE THREE-PARAMETER MITTAG-LEFFLER FUNCTION THROUGH FRACTIONAL INTEGRALS AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

Abstract

The classical power means of Hardy, Littlewood and Polya, which contains the harmonic mean, arithmetic mean and geometric mean, is generalized to the $Y$-mean and hypergeometric mean by Carlson. Carlson's hypergeometric mean is to average a function over a type-1 Dirichlet measure, and this term in the current literature is known as the Dirichlet average of that function. The present paper introduces a new Dirichlet average, associated with the modified type-1 Dirichlet measures called modified type-1 Dirichlet averages. This paper also investigates the modified type-1 Dirichlet averages of a three-parameter Mittag-Leffler type function, which is expressed using Riemann-Liouville integrals and hypergeometric functions with multiple variables.
