Generalized Krätzel functions: an analytic study

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of generalized Krätzel functions, which are the kernel functions of type-1 and type-2 pathway transforms. Various analytical properties such as Lipschitz continuity, fixed point property and integrability of these functions are investigated. Furthermore, the paper introduces two new inequalities associated with generalized Krätzel functions. The composition formulae for various fractional operators, such as Grünwald-Letnikov fractional differential operator, Riemann-Liouville fractional integral and differential operators with these functions are also obtained. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that these kernel functions are related to the Heaviside step function, the Dirac delta function, and the Riemann zeta function. A computable series representation of the kernel function is also obtained. Further scope of the work is pointed out by modifying the kernel function with the Mittag-Leffler function.
